Pretty little German girl

The Eiger is our whole wide world

Watch the climbers from our bed

We know that they may end up dead

I don't want to die among the snow and ice

While frozen singing Edelweiss

Without my flask of wine and conversation fine

And no warm bed at night

With flowers in your hair

And waltzes floating in the air

And babies crying in their chairs

And running through the garden fair

Like lovers we never were

Pretty little German girl

The Eiger is my only world

See how sunlight strikes the snow

A storm must crash and wind must blow

I don't want to die among the snow and ice

While frozen singing Edelweiss

Without my flask of wine and conversation fine

And no warm bed at night

With flowers in your hair

And waltzes floating in the air

And babies crying in their chairs

And running through the garden fair

Like lovers that we never were

Like lovers that we never were

Like lovers that we never were
