Marlene Dietrich - Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß auf Liebe eingestellt / Falling in Love Again (Can’t Help It) (via The Blue Angel: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

English translation:

A mysterious glow, a “je ne sais-pas-quoi”
Lies always in the eyes of a beautiful woman.
But if my eyes connect with yours and
Dive in them too deeply, then what do they say?

I am designed for love from head to toe,
That is my world - and nothing else.
That is, what can I do, my nature.
I can only love - and nothing else.

Men flit around me, like moths to the flame.
And if they burn, I can’t help it.

I am designed for love from head to toe,
That is my world - and nothing else.

What trembles in my hands, in its hot grip?
They want to squander themselves - they never get enough.
You will forgive me; you must understand.
It tempts me always - I find it so wonderful!
