Die Welt ist dumm, die Welt ist blind
Language:
German
Die Welt ist dumm, die Welt ist blind,
Wird täglich abgeschmackter!
Sie spricht von dir, mein schönes Kind:
Du hast keinen guten Charakter.
Die Welt ist dumm, die Welt ist blind,
Und dich wird sie immer verkennen;
Sie weiß nicht, wie süß deine Küsse sind,
Und wie sie beseligend brennen.

The world is dull, the world is blind
Language:
English
The world is dull, the world is blind
And daily grows more silly!
It says of you, my lovely child,
You are not quite a lily.
The world is dull, the world is blind
And judges in stupid fashion:
It knows not how sweet your kisses are
And how they burn with passion.
