For a few weeks now, things have gotten crazy,

Whenever she looks at me,

A festival begins,

And I am celebrating it.

A guy who could take hard hits and thunderbolts,

Now from the words she throws,

I am stumbling and struggling.

I am totally wiped out!

From the blow that love dealt,

Into a lap of flowers,

I keep leaning and falling over.

Don't pick me up, man!

Up the terrace steps of love,

I climb in a split second.

When she struck me with her fragrance,

I fell over all over again!

I vanished completely!

In a sweet round of kisses,

I got knocked out!

Why, my heart,

Knowing it full well,

did you relish sipping poison?

Understanding everything,

you flared up like fire.

Why, my heart,

getting broken,

did you wander with an open chest,

collapsing again and again,

did you finally gain some sense?

Love

is an idle,

foolish game.

If you lose, you are finished!

Without love,

you're just for show,

but once it comes,

it's a complete deadlock, man!

She strikes me,

she sweeps me off my feet!

Whenever she smiles,

a festival begins,

and I am celebrating it.

A guy who could take hard hits and thunderbolts,

from the words she throws,

I am stumbling and struggling.

From the blow that love dealt,

Chorus: In the lap of the devil,

Male: I lie here with my eyes closed.

Chorus: It will devour you whole, man!

On the steps of love's well,

Chorus: the moment you step down—

Male: Enough of your advice, man!

Chorus: No, don't go!

Don't ruin yourself for nothing!

Love is certainly deep,

and I am drowning happily in it.
