Zarah Leander hatte eine der aussergewöhnlichsten Stimmen auf der ganzen Welt. Danke Zarah Leander!

I lived in Immediate post war Germany for several years and have come to love the popular music of the period.Zarah Leander with her beautiful, seductive voice and faultless delivery was always a pleasure to listen to.Thank you so much for posting all these videos .

какой голос! какой язык, тембр, нежность, женственность, образ романтика - действительно великолепно! дух захватывает. слушаю это вот с ютью уже много тысяч раз и не могу насладиться !

Nostalgie !! Belle femme belle voix qui incarnait une certaine époque. C'est agréable de pouvoir écouter ces chansons d'une époque lointaine. Merci ❤

This is the first song I have heard by Zarah Leander and sounds great! Great artists can transcend language with voice and music!

The original song was in Yiddish, written by Sholom Secunda, and pronounced "Bei mir bist du shayn", meaning "I like you" or "you're great". Leander sings a Swedish translation of the verses, but the one-line refrain has been turned into German: "Bei mir bist du schön" - not a known phrase in standard German, though it's understandable. Presumably the song was Germanised to erase its Yiddish/Jewish origin and because "schön" rhymes with some Swedish words in the verses (e.g. bön).

Thank you Leotaurus1975 for posting such a beautiful song sung by a gorgeous singer...xx

Wunderschöne Lied ! Vieldanke ! Die groß Zarah !😊😊😊

somebody asked about her very precise pronunciation, especially the r. she was trained in the classical theatre and cabaret tradition in sweden where it vas very important to deliver a text with the right r- and sch-sounds.Before germany she sung in the legendary Karl Gerhard-cabarets. His texts were very sharp,witty and intellectual and had to be understood by the public. They also were political and so anti-nazi that he got into trouble with the german embassy in stockholm.

I hear it thousends and thousends times and can never get enough of it, ohhh, these voice is sooooo beautiful, soooooo schöööön für mich!!!! I like it till oblivion (unconsciousness)!!

Уникальная женщина и певица и как всегда с трагической судьбой.Моя одна из любимых певиц на все времена.

Könnte wohl immer wieder anhören, einmalig! 🌟👌

Eine wunderbare, unvergessliche Stimme - vielen Dank für die Veröffentlichung

WONDERFUL MUSIC...Lovely photographs...This is an amazing video. Many thanks from Canada.

nunca en esta vida lo había llegado a escuchar pero creo que en una vida pasada si lo escuche. me encantó y lo mejor detodo es que se me hace tan familiar, no se como ni por que....

I love her voice a lot

it's good to hear a different frequency melody as what is up to date

in stockholm in the 30s the chic people dansed to this music in the winter garden of Grand Hotel. The orchestra was one of the best in Scandinavia.

didn't know that Zarah Leander also performed this song, I only knew the Andrews Sister's version :-) Thanks for uploading!

Älskar den här låten ❤️

assurément la meilleure version de ce succès immortel.

WunderbaRR !!!

Love this music

The one and only! Love it.

Incredible pics of an incredible woman

Traumfrau mit einer Stimme, die schon immer einzigartig war!

Siempre se conoce algo nuevo. Muy buena cantante!!!

During 1938, several recordings of 'Bei mir bist du schön' were released in Germany (including the famous one with the Andrews Sisters). I uploaded a recording by Russ Morgan, released in 1938 on German Brunswick. Only later, the song was banned.

"With me you're beautiful" is the title of this music in English. I live in Brazil.

Quelle jolie voix Quand Elle murmurait des mots doux cela devait une décharge sensuelle sans commune mesure ZARAH LEANDER💞💟💕🎵🎵

Danke für Ihre schöne Einstellung von Zarah L. Lied in schwedisch, weltbekannt! Es ist auch ein Euro Jazz Titel in heutiger Sicht.

Nina Hagen's "Zarah" led me here. Love it!

Amazing to hear a Yiddish song sung in German especially at the time

Linda música e que voz maravilhosa

Ovo je prava zenska lepota,njezna i zenstvena,nenosi Farmerke da joj se ocrtava prednji dio tela.!!!

Thanks again for this treat.

Wunderschön!

j'adore

Gran bella Donna, labbra stupende, interpretazione eccellente e coinvolgente, musica straordinaria, che altro ? ...

Wunderbares Lied!

super ! Danke

Es wird einmal ein Wunder geschehn.

Hej, arrangemanet här är helt outstanding, lyssna o njut !

@LittleImpaler Yiddish has adopted many words from those languages (most Hebrew/Aramaic, less Slawic, little others) , but its base is medievial southwestern German. The Grammar and most of the "simple" words clearly show these roots and that's why it's a Germanic language.

Großartig

Excellent...love it....Glod bless her!

Hallo aus in Russland! Zahra Leander ist meine liebe eine Schweden schauspielenleiterin! Danke für mit dieses Lied!

SUPA DOPE BROTHERS

Zarah Leander was one of the most beautiful actresses that has ever lived Joseph Goebbels I'll have to give it to him had Great taste in retaining Zara for the German film industry

Fine Song Zarah Much Aloha from Hawaii

Auf Schwedisch! In Ihrer Heimatsprache!

Great tune!

A Excellent Video.. Highly Recommended.....

Evocative...hervorrufend, sentimental und gleichzeitig fröhlich. Uebrigens kann man ein CD-Set kaufen, das dieses Lied u.v.a. enthält. Nicht teuer, schauen Sie in eBay.

@muryb71 dont be a muppet man, look it up!! the song was written by shalom secunda and jacob jacobs in 1932 for a yiddish non hit musical for which the writers were paid $30 between them by the decca record company and translated it for the andrews sisters who made it a hit. would you like to know some more?

Zenstvenost i ljepota. !!!

Bei mir bist do schon, please let me explain Bei mir bist do schon means you're grand Bei mir bist do schon, again I'll explain It means you're the fairest in the land I could say "Bella, bella", even "sehr wunderbar" Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are I've tried to explain, bei mir bist do schon So kiss me and say you understand Bei mir bist do schon, you've heard it all before but let me try to explain Bei mir bist do schon means that you're grand Bei mir bist do schon, it's such an old refrain and yet I should explain It means I am begging for your hand I could say "Bella, bella", even "sehr wunderbar" Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are I could say "Bella, bella", even "sehr wunderbar" Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are I've tried to explain, bei mir bist do schon So kiss me and say that you will understand

wow

J'aime également cette version plus jazzy que la chanson originale en yddish, plus lente et plus triste. cette version est arrangée et plus dansante.

Bo Ty masz w sobie coś , doprawdy takie coś , ze ja bez pamięci kocham cie............

@jarabaa In German dialects or sociolects usually are not written down. A German jew would write "schön" but still they would pronounce it more like scheyn. Yiddish is closer to German than most rural dialects or e.g. low saxon. Of course you can also try to transcribe your dialect in a phonetic way. It is also fairly normal that a dialect/language totally shifts meaning when translated into a standardized scripture.

Zarah Bei mir bist Du so schoen Aloha from Hawaii

danceable music :)

WUNDERBAR!

Självklart! Tack.

This great song has emerged as a dixieland instrumental and vocal. Monte Suffern hhas a great piano version on Utube.

@jarabaa Guess what, Yiddish is a middle age German dialect with a few Hebrew elements, was spoken by Ashkenazi jews throughout Eastern Europe, sometimes written in Hebrew letters.

grazie!

Det är rätt så kul att låten inte är allra populärast i sverige utan i Tyskland och Ryssland när dom till och med sjunger på svenska :).

my favorite Yiddish tune ))

Stimme UND Gesicht, - unvergleichlich !
