Marleen English translation
von Marianne Rosenberg

Marleen, one of us must go now
Marleen, so I ask you, go, Marleen

Your hair shines like a field of stars
Your mouth is pure temptation, aha
Your complexion is like something from a magazine
Every word that comes from your lips
Is like the scent of flowers, aha
If he desires you, I can understand that, Marleen

Marleen, one of us must go now
Marleen, so I ask you, go, Marleen


I look at you and know that I
Can’t compare myself to you, aha
I’m not like you, Marleen
A part of him already belongs to you
But before I lose him completely, aha
Please listen to me, listen to me
Marleen, Marleen

Have you ever lived and fought for a man like I have?
I don’t think so; they all fall for you, you can have them all
They are like moths because you are the light

Marleen, one of us must go now
Marleen, so I ask you, go, Marleen
Marleen, one of us must go now

What do you want from this man
When you can have so many others?
Is he not just a pastime for you?
I only have one man, mhmm
If you let him go someday, mhmm
He would be lost to me

So I ask you, go, Marleen
So I ask you, go


Marleen, one of us must go now
Marleen, so I ask you, go, Marleen
Marleen, you must go, Marleen
