My red-headed German vagabond girl,
where are you going tonight?
Why are you escaping the light?
Living life on a cliff and a distant shore,
living life on the run on a dancing floor.

My red-headed German runaway girl
will the party boat arrive tomorrow?
Will the sunlight unveil a new sorrow?
Staying ahead will need determination
a party girl cannot afford indecision

My red-headed German misguided girl
have lost your way?
Are there no more time to sway?
The runaway left the roads, it is a pity
now the vagabond is back in the city.
