Although the world would call me free 
each day the more her slave am i 
for in her very way to be 
there's i don't know what 
i don't know why 
already from the day we met 
was my freedom mortal shot 
she's but a girl as they, and yet 
there's something more, i don't know what 
no matter what we speak or do 
the moments in sweet silence fly 
for somehow there is music, too 
when she is mute, i don't know why 
so likely to my dying day 
to follow her will be my lot 
for in her sweet and candid way 
there's i don't know why 
i don't know what
