Rattenfänger [English translation]

I swear hot love pledges

Words turn into poems

And every maid, who I choose,

Sees me, but recognizes me not

I sing soft love songs

Sugar-sweet melody

Oh beautiful woman in your bodice

Listen, but never answer me

Listen, but never answer me

Chorus:

I am a Pied Piper

ne'er-do-well

Fan the flame of lust and hot love

Sow hope, harvest pain-

I am the death in a wedding dress

I'm a Pied Piper

Cadences flatter you daringly

Sing you my spell laughingly

Since all have succumbed

If not today, then eventually

My metaphors are rotten

And frivolous my apercu

And later, under your blanket

Beckons the reward for my struggle

My courtship plays with your hair

Caresses your skin

But believe me,

Promises were only build on loose sand

Chorus

I sow hope without effort

Take your heart as a sacrifice

But the love cannot bloom

For I am without loyalty

Chorus
