Although the world would call me free
Each day the more her slave am I
For in her very way to be
There´s I don´t know what
I don´t know why

Already from the day we met
Was my freedom mortal shot
She´s but a girl as they, and yet
There´s something more, I don´t know what

No matter what we speak or do
The moments in sweet silence fly
For somehow there is music, too
When she is mute, I don´t know why

So likely to my dying day
To follow her will be my lot
For in her sweet and candid way
There´s I don´t know why
I don´t know what
