It doesn't matter
who we love
and who once breaks our heart
We're driven by fate
and the end's always renunciation
We believe and hope and think
that someday a miracle happens
but when we then give ourselves away
it's the same old song
Just don't cry for love
There's not only one on earth
There are so many in this world
I love everyone I like!
And that's why I want to belong to you today
You should swear loyalty and love to me
Though I feel it has to be a lie
Ha!
I lie too and am yours
We came from south and north
with hearts so strange and so mute
That's how I became yours
I can't tell you why
Because when I lost myself to you
I thought of somebody else
That's how the lie was born
Already on the first night
Just don't cry for love
There's not only one on earth
There are so many in this world
I love everyone I like!
And that's why I want to belong to you today
You should swear loyalty and love to me
Though I feel it has to be a lie
I lie too
and am yours

SONG MEANING

“Nur Nicht Aus Liebe Weinen” (Don’t Cry Because of Love) is Zarah Leander’s stylish reminder that romance is both thrilling and unreliable. Sung in her deep, velvety German, the Swedish icon tells us that fate pushes everyone toward heartbreak, so tears are pointless. Instead of mourning one lost love, she lifts her glass to the many possibilities still out there, declaring: “Es gibt so viele auf dieser Welt” – there are so many in this world! The chanson’s smoky cabaret mood turns heartbreak into a playful wink, encouraging listeners to dance on rather than drown in sorrow.

By admitting she will swear eternal devotion even while knowing it is a lie, the narrator exposes the polite make-believe that often props up romance. Love, in this song, is a dazzling game: promises are whispered, hearts change direction, and tomorrow’s passion might belong to someone new. Leander’s message is bold but freeing: keep your eyes dry, enjoy the moment, and never forget how vast the world – and its pool of potential lovers – truly is.
