[Rolf:]
You wait, little girl, on an empty stage
For fate to turn the light on
Your life, little girl, is an empty page
That men will want to write on
[Liesl:]
To write on
[Rolf:]
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Baby, it's time to think
Better beware, be canny and careful
Baby, you're on the brink
You are sixteen going on seventeen
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and rogues and cads
Will offer you food and wine
Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your ken
You need someone older and wiser
Telling you what to do
I am seventeen going on eighteen
I'll take care of you
[Liesl:]
I am sixteen going on seventeen
I know that I'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I believe
I am sixteen going on seventeen
Innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those
Totally unprepared am I
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared am I
Of things beyond my ken
I need someone older and wiser
Telling me what to do
You are seventeen going on eighteen
I'll depend on you
[Rolf:]
Bos bir sahnede bekliyorsun kucuk kiz
Sansin isigi yakmasi icin
Senin yasamin, kucuk kiz, bos bir sayfa
Erkeklerin uzerine yazmak istedikleri
[Liesl:]
uzerine yazmak
[Rolf:]
Sen onaltisindasin onyediye giriyorsun
Bebegim, dusunme zamani
Iyisi mi, uyanik, akilli ve dikkatli ol
Bebegim sen esiktesin
Sen onaltisindasin onyediye giriyorsun
Erkekler siraya girecek
Istekli genç delikanlilar ve capkinlar ve ahlaksizlar
sana yiyecek ve sarap onerecekler
tamamen hazirliksizsin sen
erkeklerin dunyasiyla karsilasmak icin
sikilgan utangac ve korkuyorsun
bilgi alanin didindaki seylerden
daha buyuk ve akilli birine ihtiyacin var
sana ne yapacagini soyleyen
Ben onyedimdeyim onsekize girecegim
Ben sana bakarim
[Liesl:]
Ben onaltisindayim onyediye giriyorum
biliyorum kirilganim
Karsilastigim erkekler bana tatli oldugumu soyleyebilir
Ve ben isteyerek inanirim
Ben onaltisindayim onyediye giriyorum
bir gul kadar masum
Bekar zuppeler, konyak icenler
Bunlari ne bilirim ben
tamamen hazirliksizim ben
erkeklerin dunyasiyla karsilasmak icin
sikilgan utangac ve korkuyorum
bilgi alanim didindaki seylerden
daha buyuk ve akilli birine ihtiyacim var
bana ne yapacagini soyleyen
Sen onyedindesin onsekize gireceksin
Sana bagli olacagim
