O, when I was in love with you

Oh, when I was in love with you,
Then I was sweet and brave,
And miles around the wonder grew
so well did I behave.

But now the fancy passes by,
And nothing will remain,
And miles around they'll say that I
Am quite myself again.

Daron Aric Hagen

Oh, als verliebt ich war in dich

(Sung text translation for setting by D. Hagen)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch) after the English

Oh, als verliebt ich war in dich,
war tapfer ich und rein;
da wunderten die Leute sich,
wie brav ich konnte sein.

Doch jetzt, da das Gefühl verblich
und ganz verließ den Sinn,
schwör'n Leute hier, daß wieder ich
voll nun der Alte bin.
