I'm a very beautiful girl, I'm simply splendid. Boys go crazy when they look at me. Old men smile, too, when they see me. I'm always being pestered, what can you do. I ask you! What do people have against me? They run after me everywhere, in the shops, in the streets. What do people have against me? Quit looking for me, stop creeping after me, what have you got against me? A boarder wanted us to take him into our house. I have endless troubles, gevald, how can one stand it? I'm sleeping in my room, I hear some walking. I take a look: it's the boarder, he's standing by my bed! What do people have against me? Mister Boarder, I ask: Why?? My granny is asleep in the other room. What do people have against me? He wants a kiss, that's all. What do people have against me?Available with purchase of the entire album.
17.	Vu nemt men a fraynd? (Where Do You Find a Friend?) 03:01	lyrics	buy track
Consider the world well, how false everyone is these days! As soon as you're poor and have no money, you won't have a friend. Everyone laughs when things are bad for you, nobody feels your suffering. You won't get a friend even if you seek him with a lantern Just because you don't have money for bread. Oh, how false the world is today! Your best friend is just thinking of your money. As soon as you're rich you'll have lots of friends Who will smile with you day and night. They're planning to get your goods, your riches, These days you won't find a real friend Even if you search with a lantern. Consider that man over there: how lonely his world is now! He had lots of friends when he was spending his money. Now that he's weak and old, he's lost his riches. Everybody looks at him with cold indifference. He doesn't have a single friend any more!
