I'm in love with you, don't hold it against me
Ever since I was a little boy I loved seeing you
I thought that time would change all that
But the more I resisit it, the more I like you
I left for school and wanted to see the world
You stayed at home and grew beside your mother
I thought of you, don't hold it against me
While the wind was blowing and loneliness shook me
My darling, my darling, may the devil take your body
Happiness and unhappiness, it's all your doing
My darling, my darling, may the devil take your bones
What have you done to my youth
Here I am back again and I want to settle down
The crazy wondering and bravery have gone
But already from the boat there is something to see
You swung by like the wind, with a child on your chest
I was paralyzed of shock because I knew I can't follow you
Whilst I am still madly in love with you
My darling, my darling may the devil take your seed
You took everything away from me and left only a name
My darling, my darling may the devil take your bones
What have you done with my youth.
