Lyrics and Music by Bernd Harmsen You were picking wild flowers in the fields by the coast When a wondrous milk white bull caught your eye A marvelous beauty, it let you get close So gentle, so great, and not at all shy Caressing his flanks, his fur so light Pastoral peace under blue skies You dared to mount him, you wanted a ride And feel his strength between your thighs Europa, so easy to fall in love With your charm, your beauty, your youth Europa, so confident, so self-assured Once the beloved one of Zeus The bull slowly wandered toward the sea Jumped into the waves - a beast full of zest You felt no fear, you did not plead You were headed for Crete, far in the west The god lifted his guise to show you his love You gave in to him, half victim, half bride He made you Crete's queen, guarding you from above And you fondly remembered the ride Europa, so easy to fall in love With your charm, your beauty, your youth Europa, so confident, so self-assured Once the beloved one of Zeus When you will have got on in years And you'll have reached quite different spheres You'll still look beautiful and young And you will speak in many tongues While men enjoy your subtle charm Your God's protecting you from harm Europa, so easy to fall in love With your charm, your beauty, your youth Europa, so confident, so self-assured Once the beloved one of Zeus
