Wer schön sein will, muss leiden [English translation]

Why do you have such big eyes?

Why do you have such taut skin?

Why do you have such large breasts?

Why are you built so well?

Grandmother, Grandmother,

Why are you still so young?

Those who want to be beautiful must suffer, my child,

The world will envy you, my child,

Don't you know, those who sell their souls to the devil*,

will be forever young, beautiful and slim with a flat stomach,

and you know, you want it too

Why do you have such slim legs?

Why do you have such full hair?

Why do you have such thick lips?

Why are you so peculiar?

Listen to me,

Those who want to be beautiful must carry so much pain,

So please don't look me in the heart, my child,

Those who want to be beautiful must have many wounds,

So please don't look me in the heart,

Don't you know, those who commission their bodies in Hell,

Stay forever young, achieve so much and swim in money,

And that's what really counts.

*lit - sell their souls to Hell.
