Bei Mir Bist Du Schön
Glenn Miller & the Andrew Sisters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Until I first met you, I was lonesome
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me
You're really swell, I have to admit you
Deserve expressions that really fit you
And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain
Bei mir bist du schön, please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schön means you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön, again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land
I could say bella, bella, even sehr wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön
So kiss me and say you understand
Bei mir bist du schön, you've heard it all before
But let me try to explain
Bei mir bist du schön means that you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön, it's such an old refrain
And yet I should explain
It means I am begging for your hand
I could say bella, bella, even sehr wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I could say bella, bella, even sehr wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön
So kiss me and say that you will understand

My grandfather, Don Heller, performed with them and opened for them on several occasions. He said that the oldest one, LaVerne, was a prankster, and if a filler performer would, say, do the splits, she'd take a piece of canvas and tear it, making it sound like the performer had torn their pants.

Awesome. I have been listening to the music of the 20's up to 40's lately. What talent. Just real voices and instruments. Real music
@oknar1977
Check out radio from Canada called
Tokyo Rose Radio -
they played this song 5 minutes ago.
@vistarecords4930
Ladies and Gentlemen - as important as this recording was for the Andrews Sisters it holds a very important distinction. This is the first record Buddy Rich ever played on. This is a 20 year old Buddy on drums. So, not only is this an Andrews Sisters classic, it's also a historic track.
@juliereminiec4937
Would Bei Mir Bist Du Shon be a good song for a Power Metal band to cover ?
@PeterAByrne
I came here to post just that info. But I see you’re a year ahead of me!! I’m reading Buddy Rich’s biography and just learned about his playing on that song. His talents weren’t very much pushed, but, as you say, it’s historic for that reason too.
