Have a direct translation! Not a bad job – though I don’t know why he should apologise if he’s apparently blameless… Whatever!

Du denkst sie liebt nur mich (You think she only loves me)
Gestern hab’ ich sie gesehen (I saw her yesterday)
Sie denkt ja nur an dich (She only thinks of you)
Und du solltest zu ihr gehen (And you should go to her)
Oh ja, sie liebt dich! (Oh yes, she loves you!)
Schöner kann es gar nicht sein! (And it doesn’t get better than that!)
Ja, sie liebt dich (Yes, she loves you)
Und da solltest du dich freuen! (And you should be glad about it!)

Du hast ihr Weh getan (You hurt her)
Sie wußte nicht warum (She didn’t know why)
Du warst nicht schuld daran (You weren’t to blame)
Und drehtest dich nicht um (And you didn’t turn your back [on her])
Oh ja, sie liebt dich! (Oh yes, She loves you!)
Schöner kann es gar nicht sein! (And it doesn’t get better than that!)
Ja, sie liebt dich (Yes, she loves you)
Und da solltest du dich freuen! (And you should be glad about it!)

Du musst jetzt zu ihr gehen (You must go to her now)
Entschuldig’ dich bei ihr (Apologise to her)
Ja, das wird sie verstehen (Yes, she’ll understand that)
Und dann verzeiht sie dir (And then she’ll forgive you)
Oh ja, sie liebt dich! (Oh yes, She loves you!)
Schöner kann es gar nicht sein! (And it doesn’t get better than that!)
Ja, sie liebt dich (Yes, she loves you)
Und da solltest du dich freuen! (And you should be glad about it!)

Sie liebt dich, yeah, yeah, yeah (She loves you yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sie liebt dich, yeah, yeah, yeah (She loves you yeah, yeah, yeah)
Denn mit dir allein, kann sie nur glücklick sein (Because [it’s] only with you she can be happy)
Denn mit dir allein, kann sie nur glücklick sein (Because [it’s] only with you she can be happy)
Denn mit dir allein, kann sie nur glücklick sein (Because [it’s] only with you she can be happy)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeeeeeah!

The vowel length as well as the length of the word as a whole is fine, actually.
Julie is correct, however, about the final consonants.
(That sound is troublesome to English speakers, because it does not exist in most accents of English. Scottish has something similar: “Loch Ness”. Although still markedly different, that sound is a much better guideline than the [k] sound most English native speakers fall back to when they come across one of these German words.

That would have been difficult, given how fast the song moves along.

This is a fun little article.

If only they sung it as “Sie Liebt Dich, Ja , Ja, Ja”!

This recorded version is slightly faster than the original.

It should be pronounced ‘deechh” like with a long e and ending with cat hissing kinda sound.

Funny. But you have to translate completely because ‘dick’ ist a german word, too. “She loves thick, yeah, yeah, yeah!”

One has to keep in mind what music was played in Germany in those days. It was mostly “Schlagermusik” (Wiki it as “Schlager music”!) and was preferable German languaged. The record company speculated to get higher sales among the Schlager-friends. Today it gives us a laugh or better a teenage giggle, because for us who speak German they sing “Sie liebt dick, yeah, yeah, yeah!” wich means “She loves dick, yeah, yeah, yeah!” Well… umh…
