Mother told me:
- You must play "hard to get"
And the boys will run after you.
But I went around freely,
Tattooed my heart on my forehead,
Opened wide my every move!

Father told me:
- You must play "hard to get"
All the boys don't like easy girls
But I went around freely,
Carrying my heart on my shoulder!

It's not an easy thing to do!
It's not an easy thing to do!
Hiding feelings within you
It's a hard thing to hide:
The smoke from the fire!

Darling, please don't go away!
I'm no easy girl as they might say,
It's just that my love for you
Is like the sunshine.
It gives warm rays,
I just cannot hide
And why should I?

But all the same, I'm old-fashioned,
I'd like to marry and have children.
Tell me you still love me,
Tell me we'll marry!

...But by now, you are not so sure
If we are for each other anymore,
Or if we should stay together
Forever or so...

How did I really understand
Exactly what you meant?
But I know one thing -
That I am leaving
I know also the pain
Will stay for many a lonely evening!
