Teufelsweib [English translation]

Dark eyes, black hair

She lives at the edges of the town

No one knows who she was

Only those with longing come here

Sometimes people meet her on the streets

They scold her, she curses them

Sometimes people also throw rocks at her

She could never be seen in church

I was attracted to her

I trembled when I saw her

I felt heat going through me

Whenever she was near

My father said: Forget about it

This woman can not be your wife

She's different, no longer pure

Heed your father's words

With a parchment and a quill

I wrote her a love letter

I sneaked out at night

And gave her the letter

Since then I am standing at the window

and want to jump into the depths,

It was stupid,

She only did it for the money

Oh, what a woman!

Oh, I am longing for her body

Oh, what a woman!

Oh, I will break every promise for her

However, it wasn't long before

I acted out on that, went to the market

Climbed the highest mountain

Brought her the most precious of flowers (Edelweiss)

Bishops, Earls, and Noble Men

I begged everyone for money

I went out and bought her half the world

But It was the half that she didn't like

With a parchment and a quill

I wrote her a love letter

I sneaked out at night

And gave her the letter

Since then I am standing at the window

and want to jump into the depths,

It was stupid,

She only did it for the money

Oh, what a woman!

Oh, I am longing for her body

Oh, what a woman!

Oh, I will break every promise for her

Oh, what a woman!

Oh, I am longing for her body

Oh, what a woman!

Oh, I will break every promise for her

Oh, what a woman!

Oh, I am longing for her body

Oh, what a woman!

Oh, I will break every promise for her
