Viel zu schade für mich [English translation]

Once, for glass of wine, she came

to my place, to my place.

She looked around, rolled up her sleeves

an brought order into my four walls.

She had taken all the sofa cushions

and folded them neatly down the middle.

I know, such a girl really would be

wasted on me,

wasted on me!

Then she stood by the window sill and wiped

all the panes 'til they shone, all the panes 'til they shone.

Such industriousness is a gift, not something learnt,

but imbibed instead of mother's milk.

In the end every thing was tidy and spotless -

only she had got her new little dress dirty.

I know, such a girl really would be

wasted on me,

wasted on me!

She hung the little dress with the stains in it up

to get dry, to get dry.

Then I saw that she wore self-knitted panties,

roomy and warm, for protection from draughts!

She could pull them up, if she wanted to,

comfortably from her knees to her armpits.

I know, such a girl really would be

wasted on me,

wasted on me!

She had brought her toothbrush with her

and stayed the night, and stayed the night.

She cried, because I said she should shut up

when she wanted to show me a couple of tricks

taken from a book "Happiness for Couples" - or some such

- you can get it at every railway station!

I know, such a girl really would be

wasted on me,

wasted on me!

I told her that she mustn't cry

in my bed, in my bed.

"Wait until tomorrow, then you'll meet

a friend of mine here, who is nicer to you!" -

Now she lives with him, she has already skilfully embroidered

the number of his car on a cushion.

I know, such a girl really would be

wasted on me,

wasted on me!
