The Tender Trap

Jimmy Van Heusen, Sammy Cahn

Lyrics Translation

You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then snap!

Those eyes, those sighs,
They're part of the tender trap

You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!

Those trees, that breeze,
They're part of the tender trap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single

And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map

You're hooked, you're cooked,
You're caught in the tender trap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single

And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map

And then you wonder how it all came about
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap

Du siehst ein Paar lachende Augen
Und plötzlich seufzt du seufzend
Du denkst, es ist nichts falsch
Du ziehst mit, Junge, dann schnapp

Diese Augen, diese Seufzer,
Sie sind Teil der zarten Falle

Deine Hand in Hand unter den Bäumen
Und bald gibt es Musik in der Brise
Du verhältst dich ziemlich schlau, bis dein Herz einfach wap geht

Diese Bäume, diese Brise,
Sie sind Teil der zarten Falle

Einige sternenklare Nacht, wenn ihre Küsse dich kribbeln lassen
Sie wird dich festhalten, und du wirst dich selbst dafür hassen, Single zu sein

Und auf einmal scheint es so schön
Die Leute werfen Schuhe und Reis
Du eilst zu einem Ort, der nur ein Punkt auf der Karte ist

Du fragst dich wie
Aber jetzt ist es zu spät
Du hast dich verliebt, und Liebe ist die zarte Falle
Und ich bin mit dir gefangen
