Mei Herz is a Flamm'
Language: German (Deutsch)
Mei Herz is a Flamm',
die brennt mi schier aus;
wann's lang' a so dauert,
i halt's nimmer aus!
Mei Herz is ganz zundert,
und d'rin is a Brand;
nur'n Dirndl ihre Busserl,
die löschen's allsamt!
Und die gluatigen Blick
und die feurige Red';
das Dirndl hat die Schuld,
dass alles in Flammen steht!

My heart is a flame
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
My heart is a flame
that nearly burns me out;
if it keeps burning that way,
I won't be able to endure it any longer.
My heart is all in flames,
and within it is a fire;
only my lass's kisses
can extinguish it altogether.
And her glowing looks
and her fiery talk -
the lass is to blame
if all is set on fire!
