Du bist mein Salz in der Suppe
Hildegard Knef
You're My Salt in the Soup
You're my salt in the soup
and my sugar in the coffee,
you're my mustard for the sausage
and my rice for the fricassee ---
You're my whiskey in soda
and my pepper for the steak,
yeah, you're everything I need,
wherever I go and stand ---
You're the dream of my nights
and my champagne in the booth;
you're my novel that I read,
my A to Z of the ABC ---
You're my fur when I'm cold,
your sunshine by the sea,
yeah, you're everything I need,
wherever I go and stand ---
One could live without all this,
that would just mean simple sacrifice ---
Yeah, I can do it,
but I don't want to,
and when I don't feel like it,
then I just don't ---
You're my weed in the garden,
my mistakes that I make,
you're my lock on the front door,
and my chimney on the roof ---
You're my diamond on my hands,
my pearls at the neckline,
yeah, you're everything I need,
wherever I go and stand ---
You're my path that I walk,
the ideas in my head,
you're my ray of light in the dark,
you're my lid on the pot ---
and the raisin in the cake,
your fly in the jelly ---
yeah, you're everything I need,
wherever I go and stand ---
One could live without all this,
that would just mean simple sacrifice ---
Yeah, I can do it,
but I don't want to,
and when I don't feel like it,
then I just don't ---
then I just don't.
