LYRICS (in the original German)
Du, du hast, du hast mich
Du, du hast, du hast mich
Du, du hast, du hast mich
Du, du hast, du hast mich
Du, du hast, du hast mich, du hast mich
Du hast mich gefragt, du hast mich gefragt
Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nichts gesagt

Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet
Treu ihr sein für alle Tage?
Nein
Nein

Willst du bis zum Tod der Scheide
Sie lieben auch in schlechten Tagen?
Nein
Nein

LYRICS (in English, translated by genius.com and the author’s knowledge)

You, you have, you have me
You, you have, you have me
You, you have, you have me
You, you have, you have me
You, you have, you have me, you have me
You have asked me, you have asked me
You have asked me and I have said nothing

Do you want, until death separates you
To be faithful to her for all days?
No
No

Do you want, until death
To love her, even in bad days?
No
No
