[Kievest]

Thanks for posting the lyrics!!! My favorite rendition of this great tune!

[thankfullsoul]

I remember this as a small child listening to the radio. REALLY GOOD

[macvatu]

Bei mir bist du schon. . .to me you are pretty, beautiful, wonderful or whatever else. . . who cares, its just a song !!

...its German, by the way. . .

[ninah1]

@macvatu

It's not German. It's Yiddish.

[ninah1]

@macvatu

Yiddish is a patois of German, more like old Austrian German. The song was written in Yiddish and translated to English. Nina

[macvatu]

@ninah1 . . .holy mackerell !!. . .who would have thought, eh ?. . I always thought Yiddish was some sort of Jewish dialect spoken in Europe.  I spent a bit of time in Deutschland in the military and picked up some local lingo; and never once was Yiddish mentioned as part of the German language. . .ja, ich glaube es !

[ninah1]

@macvatu

You would not have heard of Yiddish in Germany because the Germans killed all the Jews.

[macvatu]

@ninah1 . . . on the contrary, German Jews are doing well for themselves today as accepted part of the community esp in Berlin and Munich. Today's Germany is far removed from the 30s and 40s - they are polite and hard-working people, and wouldn't hesitate to volunteer help to a foreigner like myself.

[imanolanfan]

@ninah1 Hitler didn't kill all of them. There were approximately 250,000 Jews living in Europe at the end of WWII.  Praise God! He said in the Old Testament that He would always save a remnant of the Jewish people!

[ninah1]

@imanolanfan Yes, I know. I have distant relatives who returned to Germany from Russia after the war.. However, 250,000 is small compared to the German population. Also, these returning Jews don't speak Yiddish.

"wracked" my brain, not wrecked.

[daodon11]

@OzzyGurl68 "racked" my brain, not wracked

[junorstar1]

Ok, it is originaly a Yiddish song, I come from Germany, it is a great song. They say it fine, their not German they would have never known, the right way to pronounce it! The Berry Sisters do a great job, at it in their version of the song.

[emmakra]

@hendrixphish420 it's a yiddish song and schaen is the yiddish pronuciation of schoen

[dasglasperlenspiel10]

Now THIS is a groove!

[hendrixphish420]

meant to be pronounced "shoon"

[TheJuicyfruitx]

@hendrixphish420 erm... i think they know how to pronounce words from their own songs

[hendrixphish420]

@TheJuicyfruitx  erm... no, you're wrong. they are not German. Bei Mir Bist Du Schön is German. i gave the correct pronunciation.

[Alexandria1812]

@hendrixphish420 Just stfu and deal with it, jeeze. These girls are part of America's history, let them be that way. No reason to spend your time making an argument that has been made by thousands of others.

[hendrixphish420]

@Alexandria1812 just "shut the fuck up" ? no, YOU shut up.

i was merely stating that the correct pronounciation is different. you are the imbecile who has an issue. get a grip.

[Alexandria1812]

@hendrixphish420

Darling, you're an idiot. Germany has TWELVE different dialects, and unless you know each and everyone one of them, you are wrong.

My gosh, you a bloody twit.

[ninah1]

@Alexandria1812

You're the twit. The language is Yiddish...not German.

[Alexandria1812]

@ninah1 My goodness you're stupid.

Go to google translate; try putting the title of this song up there, and click translate... OH WAIT - you can't.

It's German.

[otaku678]

@TheJuicyfruitx hendrix is right, i come from a german heritage and have heard the language, and the two dots over an o is "shoon". the way they pronounce it in this song would be more along the lines of "schaen" .

[macvatu]

@hendrixphish420 . . .quite right. . the two dots over the word change the accent as you mentioned there - it applies throughout the German grammar. "Shoon" or "Shoern" rather than "shon"

[JudgeJulieLit]

@hendrixphish420 A pronunciation error echoed by Wayne Newton in his later top song "Danke Shoen" ... singer's license, eclipsed by great talent.

[Billkwando]

inaudible volume

[beyoncetyratina]

@Billkwando

Sorry, this was like... one of my first videos... I didn't know how to use WMM then...

[freighter014]

@beyoncetyratina well, the fact that this is andrews sisters makes up for it :)
