Ein Bett im Kornfeld (Swing) English translation
von Jürgen Drews

Summer evening over blooming land
Since noon, I stood by the roadside
With every car that passed, I raised my thumb
On a bicycle, there came a girl
And she said, "I feel very sorry for you"
But I laughed and said, "I don't need soft down feathers"

A bed in the cornfield, it's always free
'Cause it's summer and what's wrong with that?
The crickets sing and it smells of hay
When we dream, mmm
A bed in the cornfield among flowers and straw
And the stars shine for me anyway
A bed in the cornfield I'll make for us
All alone


A little later her bicycle lay in the grass
And so it happened that she lost track of time
With the guitar, I told her about my life
Suddenly she said, "It's high time"
It's already dark and my way is still far
But I laughed and said, "I still have much to give you"

A bed in the cornfield, it's always free
'Cause it's summer and what's wrong with that?
The crickets sing and it smells of hay
When we dream, mmm
A bed in the cornfield among flowers and straw
And the stars shine for me anyway
A bed in the cornfield I'll make for us
All alone, mmm

A bed in the cornfield, it's always free
'Cause it's summer and what's wrong with that?
Nana nanana, heyho, a bed in the cornfield, cornfield (uh yeah)
A bed in the cornfield, it's always free
'Cause it's summer and what's wrong with that?
Nana nanana, heyho, a bed in the cornfield, cornfield
A bed in the cornfield (cornfield, cornfield)
