Someone to Watch Over Me [German translation]

There's a saying old, says that love is blind

Still we're often told: "Seek and ye shall find"

So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind

Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet

He's the big affair I cannot forget

Only man I ever think of with regret

There's a somebody I'm longing to see

I hope that he turns out to be

Someone to watch over me

I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood

I know I could always be good

To one who'll watch over me

Although he may not be the man

Some girls think of as handsome

To my heart he'll carry the key

Won't you tell him, please, to put on some speed

And follow my lead, oh, how I need

Someone to watch over me

Someone to watch over me
