Kh'vel dir ogn, dir glaykh tu hern
A du olst mir libe derklern
Ven du redst mit di oygn
Volt ikh mit dir gefloygn vu du vilst
S'art mikh nit on
Ven du host a bisele seykhl
Un ven du vaytt dayn kindershn shmeykhl
Vendu bist vild vi indianer
Bist afile a galitsianer
Zog ikh: dos art mikh nit.

Bay mir bistu sheyn,
Bay mir hos tu heyn,
Bay mir bistu eyner oyf der velt.
Bay mir bistu sheyn,
Bay mir hostu heyn,
Bay mir bistu tayerer fun gelt.

Fil sheyne meydlekh hobn gevolt nemen mir,
Un fun ey ale oysgeklibn hob ikh nor dikh.

Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some
Until I first met you, I was lonesome
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me

You're really swell, I have to admit you
Deserve expressions that really fit you
And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain
All the things that you do to me

Bei mir bist du schцn, please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schцn means you're grand
Bei mir bist du schцn, again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land

I could say "Bella, Bella", even say "Wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schцn
So kiss me and say you understand

Bei mir bist du schцn, you've heard it all before
but let me try to explain
Bei mir bist du schцn means that you're grand
Bei mir bist du schцn, it's such an old refrain
and yet I should explain
It means I am begging for your hand

I could say "Bella, Bella", even say "Wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

(Instrumental Interlude)

I could say "Bella, Bella", even say "Wunderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schцn
So kiss me and say that you will understand
