Below, I translated the lyrics of the song My Man by Billie Holiday from German to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
It cost me a lot
It costs me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got
But there's one thing that I've got
It's my man, it's my man
It's my man, it's my man
Cold and wet, tired, you bet
Cold and wet, tired, you bet
All of this I'll soon forget with my man
All of this I'll soon forget with my husband
He's not much for looks
He's not much for looks
He's no hero out of books
He's no hero out of books
But I love him, yes I love him
But I love him, yes I love him
Two or three girls has he
He has two or three girls
That he likes as well as me
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
But I love him
I don't know why I should
I don't know why I should
He isn't true
He isn't true
He beats me too
He beats me too
What can I do
What can I do?
my man, I love him so
my husband, I love him so much
He'll never know
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, all right
The world is bright, all right
What's the difference if I say
What's the difference if I say
When I know I'll come back on
When I know I'll come back on
My knees some day?
My knees some day?
For whatever my man is
For whatever my husband is
I am his forever more
I am his forever more
