Vielen Dank für die Blumen English translation
von Udo Jürgens

As a man of action, I was highly regarded by the boss
So I made a move on the secretary
I did my best and probably overdid it
Because in the company, the boss is the top man

He called me in and said, "You must understand
It would be terrible if we lost you here
I don’t know how things would go on without you
But let’s try it out starting next first"

Thank you for the flowers, thank you, how kind of you
Sometimes life likes to play cat and mouse with you
It will always happen, someone will trick you
Thank you for the flowers, thank you, how sweet of you


I saw the most beautiful woman who ever captivated me
And it was true love at first sight
I felt that she had already heard me silently
And thought, man, what luck you have again

I knew very well that this time everything was clear
She opened her eyes to me and then said
"You’re the most beautiful man who has ever been there for me
My name is Dieter and I’m starting something with you"

Thank you for the flowers, thank you, how sweet of you
Sometimes life likes to play cat and mouse with you
It will always happen, someone will trick you
Thank you for the flowers, thank you, how kind of you

Red roses bloom and are just souvenirs
Mimosas bloom like a smile from you
Autumn crocuses bloom, comfortingly say to me
What does it matter if I lose once?
Thank you for the flowers, thank you, how kind of you, oh yes
