Translation of Ehre Für Das Haus from German to English
This can't possibly be your serious intention
Well then, as you wish
I'll get this sorted out
And straw turns into gold
Sparkling clean, hair and skin
Because a girl cares about her appearance
We'll make the most beautiful bride out of you
You bring honor to the house
Just wait, guaranteed
You'll be dueling because of you
If you're lucky and brilliantly styled
You bring honor to the house
For girls there's only one way
That brings great honor
A good husband, because then we're happy
Men want women with charm
Sweet, obedient, quick and hardworking
If you're clever and slim
You bring honor to the house
We gladly serve our emperor
Who defeats every enemy
The man is the one who fights
The woman, the one who bears sons
We are good (we are good), you'll see (you'll see)
Soon no man can resist you (soon no man can resist you)
Like the lotus flower, pale and beautiful (like the lotus flower, pale and beautiful)
You bring honor to the house (you bring honor to the house)
Now you're ready
Not quite yet
An apple for cheerfulness and an amulet against palpitations
Jade for beauty
Because you are our pride
Take this cricket, it brings luck
And not even you can mess it up
Ancestors help, can you hear me
Otherwise I'll embarrass myself terribly
Without your help it's impossible
So my father can be proud
Matchmaker, be merciful
Our thanks to you forever
Fate take your course
And take good care of our girls
Don't they look like noble pearls?
Dolls, like porcelain
I want to bring honor
I want to bring honor
I want to bring honor
I want to bring honor
I bring honor to the house
