Ich mache keine Komplimente [English translation]

I do not pay compliments

I always say the way things are

That's why I honestly tell you

That you're a miracle to me.

I do not pay compliments

I'm simply not familiar with this game

I only know that in a myriad things

You're much in advance of all girls.

I go about like the lion in the cage

When I lose sight of you

I need you as the desert needs the rain

As the pianist needs the piano

I do not pay compliments

I'm lacking in talent for that

But when you say that you love me

That then is the nicest compliment
