Ich bin von Kopf bis fub auf Liebe engestelt - Marlene Dietrich

A baffling shimmer

A «je ne sais-pas-quoi"*

Is always lying the eyes

Of a beautiful woman

When still, in my eyes

With a vis-a-vis*

Quite low in they’re sinking

Then what say you?

I am, from head to foot,

Made up of love

That is my world

And nothing else at all

That is what I should do My nature

I can only hold love

And nothing else at all

Men sworm around me Like moths around a light

And if they burn

I can’t do anything about it I am, from head to foot,

Made up of love

I can only hold love

And nothing else at all

What trembles in my hands,

In their lively force

They want to squander

They never have enough

You’ll all excuse me You’ll just have to understand

It always lures me I think it’s so great!

I am, from head to foot,

Made up of love

That is my world

And nothing else at all

That is what I should do My nature

I can only hold love

And nothing else at all

Men sworm around me Like moths around a light

And if they burn

I can’t do anything about it I am, from head to foot,

Made up of love

I can only hold love

And nothing else at all
