Wer schön sein will, muss leiden [English translation]

Why do you have so big eyes?

Why do you have so taut skin?

Why do you have so big breasts?

Why are you so well-built?

Grandmother, Grandmother,

Why are you still so young?

Those who want to be beautiful must suffer, my child

The world will envy you, my child

Do you not know, who sells his soul to Hell

Will always be young, beautiful and slim with a slim stomach

And I know that you want that, too

Why do you have so skinny legs?

Why do you have so full hair?

Why do you have so thick lips?

Why are you so strange?

Grandmother, Grandmother,

Why are you still so young?

Those who want to be beautiful must suffer, my child

The world will envy you, my child

Do you not know, who sells his soul to Hell

Will always be young, beautiful and slim with a slim stomach

And I know that you want that, too

Hear me

Those who want to be beautiful will wear so much pain

So please don’t look into the heart, my child

Those who want to be beautiful must have many wounds

So please don’t look into the heart

Those who want to be beautiful must suffer, my child

The world will envy you, my child

Do you not know, who sells his soul to Hell

Will always be young, beautiful and slim with a slim stomach

And I know that you want that, too

Do you not know, those who order their soul to hell

Always remain young, have much success, a lot of money

And that’s the only thing that counts
