I translated the German lyrics to The Beatles song Sie Liebt Dich today, because I need to point out that their meaning is entirely different than the Beatles’ English version of the lyrics (which follow at the end, in the colour purple):
Sie liebt dich, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sie liebt dich, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sie liebt dich, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
Du glaubst sie liebt nur mich
Gestern hatt ich sie gesehen
Sie denkt ja nur an dich
Und du solltest zu irh gehen
Oh, ja sie liebt dich
Schöner kann es garnicht sein
Ja, sie liebt dich
Und da solltest du dich freuen
You believe she loves only me?
Yesterday I saw her
She thinks only about you
And you should go to her
Oh, yes she loves you
Nicer it can never be
Yeah, she loves you
And you should be happy about it
Du hast ihr weh getan
Sie wußte nicht warum
Du warst nicht schuld daran
Und drehtest dich nicht um
Oh, ja sie liebt dich
Schöner kann es garnicht sein
Ja, sie liebt dich
Und da solltest du dich freuen
You hurt her
She didn’t know why
You weren’t the one to blame
And don’t spin around over it
Oh, yes she loves you
Nicer it can never be
Yes, she loves you
And you should be happy about it
Sie liebt dich, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sie liebt dich, yeah, yeah, yeah
Denn mit dir allein
Kann sie nur glücklich sein
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
Then with you alone
Can she only be happy
Denn mit dir allein
Kann sie nur glücklich sein
Then with you alone
Can she only be happy
Denn mit dir allein
Kann sie nur glücklich sein
Then with you alone
Can she only be happy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah !!!
You think you lost your love
When I saw her yesterday
It’s you she’s thinking of
And she told me what to say
She says she loves you
And you know that can’t be bad
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad
She said you hurt her so
She almost lost her mind
And now she says she knows
You’re not the hurting kind
She says she loves you
And you know that can’t be bad
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad, ooh
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
And with a love like that
You know you should be glad
You know it’s up to you
I think it’s only fair
Pride can hurt you too
Apologize to her
Because she loves you
And you know that can’t be bad
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad, ooh
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
With a love like that
You know you should be glad
With a love like that
You know you should be glad
With a love like that
You know you should be glad
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You see what I’m getting at here? There’s always 2 sides to a story & 2 sides to a coin, so that other side of me always tries to look at both sides now (when I’m not busy listening to B-sides & petting B-hinds)
You can\’t get it straight until Li\’l ë learns ya proper, you little dicky bird, you!
