These are the lyrics to Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand in English, courtesy of Google.


O come nevertheless, come to me
You take to me the Understanding
O come nevertheless, come to me
Come give me your Hand
Come give me your Hand
Come give me your Hand

O you is as beautifully
Beautiful as a Diamond 
I want to go myself you
Come give me your Hand
Come give me your Hand
Come give me your Hand

In your arms I am lucky and glad
That was not ever with another once like that
Once so, once so

O come nevertheless, come to me
You take to me the Understanding
O come nevertheless, come to me
Come give me your Hand
Come give me your Hand
Come give me your Hand

In your arms I am lucky and glad
That was not ever with another once like that
Once so, once so

O you is as beautifully
Beautiful as a Diamond 
I want to go myself you
Come give me your Hand
Come give me your Hand
Come give me your Hand

Come give me your Hand


The lyrics in this German version are a whole lot different to I Want to Hold Your Hand, in many ways (eg. the English is "I Want to Hold You Hand", whereas the German equivalent is "Come, Give Me Your Hand").

After going over the lyrics to Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand, I have come to the conclusion that this song is, really, a whole lot more beautiful and sweeter that I Want to Hold Your Hand. I just thought it was so sweet the: “O you is as beautifully beautiful as a Diamond”, even if a lot of the power was lost in translation, and so someone who speaks German could fully grasp Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand’s beauty.

Does anyone know where I could find a better translation of Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand that still keeps the poetic vibrancy expressed in Google’s humble translation? Otherwise... what do you think of it?

OK... don't be alarmed people. I found it on http://www.iamthebeatles.com/article1312.html

After reading the English version of Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand, think that the "humble Google translation" was a lot better, despite some parts making no sense at all.

I Want To Hold Your Hand


Oh Yeah I'll tell you something, I think you'll understand
Oh Yeah ich will dir etwas sagen,ich denke du wirst es verstehen
When I say that something I want to hold your hand
Wenn ich dir sage  ich moechte deine Halt halten
I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand
ich moechte deine Hand halten,ich moechte deine Halt halten
Oh, please say to me you'll let me be your man
Oh,bitte sag ich zu dir,lass mich dein Mann sein
And please say to me you'll let me hold your hand
und bitte sag ich zu dir,lass mich deine Hand halten

Not, let me hold your hand
Nein lass mich deine Hand halten
I want to hold your hand
ich moechte deine Hand halten

And when I touch you I feel happy inside
und wenn ich dich beruehre fuehlt mein inneres das ich gluecklich bin ecetera

It's such a feeling that my love

I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide

Yeah, you got that something I think you'll understand

When I say that something

I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand,

I want to hold your hand

And when I touch you I feel happy inside

It's such a feeling that my love

I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide

Yeah, you got that something I think you'll understand

When I say that something

I want to hold your hand,

I want to hold your hand

I want to hold your hand,

I want to hold your hand
