Bei Mir Bist Du Schon [Means Your Grand]

The Swing Generation was really popular in the late 1930's and early 1940's just before the start of World War II and then it was secret during the World War, for most of the Swing music came from Jewish artists, and Jewish anything was destroyed by Hitler and his Nazi's which can be sub-categorized as the H.J. and the Gestapo. Here is one of the more popular songs of the Swing generation Bei Mir Bist Du Schon which means your grand in German;


Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some
Until I first met you, I was lonesome
And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
And this old world seemed new to me

You're really swell, I have to admit you
Deserve expressions that really fit you
And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain
All the things that you do to me

Bei mir bist du schön, please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schön means you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön, again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land

I could say "Bella, bella", even say "Voonderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön
So kiss me and say you understand

Bei mir bist du schön, you've heard it all before
but let me try to explain
Bei mir bist du schön means that you're grand
Bei mir bist du schön, it's such an old refrain
and yet I should explain
It means I am begging for your hand

I could say "Bella, bella", even say "Voonderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

------ instrumental break ------

I could say "Bella, bella", even say "Voonderbar"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are

I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön
So kiss me and say that you will understand

Also the a couple other noted famous Swing music artists are Glenn Miller, Mcguiare Sisters, and Benny Goodman. It was due to the "Swing Heil." Swingers of the WWII era that Swing still exsist today and wasnt totally wiped off the map.
