Wo hast Du nur die schönen blauen Augen her? [English translation]

Max was a billionaire

Max was a fine gentleman

And with women – he was lucky

His eyes were as brown as chestnuts

But with women

He was attracted to a navy blue gaze

Promptly he called: My dear child

Tell me quickly:

(Chorus:)

Where did you get those beautiful blue eyes from?

So loyal, so kind, so pure

I almost think they're not eyes any more

They must be stars

I would like to bet this blue magnificence

Wasn’t created by the good Lord

There’s nothing as blue as your eyes

Confess now:

Where did you get those beautiful blue eyes from?

So loyal, so kind, so pure

Yes, that's how it goes in this world

Max lost all of his money

But the women got used to it

Even if a man is poor

He keeps his charm

If he knows how to bewitch women

Even when his eyes were a little faded

He exclaimed fondly:

(Chorus)
