Du Schönste vom Städtel, schwarzbraunes Mädel / ENGLISH lyrics

Du Schönste vom Städtel, schwarzbraunes Mädel

Reimagined chorus:
You fairest of the town, lively girl in brown
You should be only mine, my bright sunshine.
You fairest of them all, pleasure to behold,
Yes, only you brunette Germanic girl.

Love, my love, you are so wonder-wonderful
And so nice, so sweet and good.
If we take a stroll by evening, evening sun,
I won't be in my morning post.

Just one look from you, or a kiss from you,
Oh what could there be nicer, nicer than that!
Lovely girl, you are so wonder-wonderful,
Only you can make me smile.

"schwarzbraun Mädel" (Black-brown girl):
The motif of the dark-haired girl has appeared in many folk songs since the 16th century. It describes a grasping, hearty type. The antithesis is the brittle, fair-haired type of woman, who often occupies a higher social rank.
