A little while ago, I posted a request for the German lyrics/English
translation to the two German Language songs.  This information was posted 
two years ago by a reader.  Well, after digging through my archives 
(thank you unix tar utility) I found the post.  
If anyone is interested (everyone needs a little culture), read on.  
Thanks to Dolf for the original work:

Some time ago there was a discussion in this newsgroup about the German
beatles songs. To my surprise the songtexts are published in the most
recent (jan/feb 1990) issue of the  'Beatles Unlimited' Magazine. BU is the
"Europe's biggest in Beatles" (as they say) and I think they also say they
are the oldest. Their address is: P.O.Box 602, 3430 AP Nieuwegein,
The Netherlands. The German songtext are taken from this issue, the
translation is my own. Please note that neither German nor English is my
native language, so don't blame me for some translation errors. The English
text is a litteral translation of the German text and thus sometimes
creating not quite syntactical correct English. Some German words are
spelled otherwise due to the fact that umlauts and the special sz
character are not available in ASCII.
The German words involved are:
1. schoen(er)   : should be o umlaut (i.s.o. oe)
2. gluecklich   : should be u umlaut (i.s.o. ue)
3. muszt, wuszte: the sz should be a sort of B

Sie Liebt Dich                    She Loves You
Composer    : John Lennon, Paul McCartney
German words: Nicolas, Montague

Sie liebt dich yeah yeah yeah     She loves you yeah yeah yeah
Sie liebt dich yeah yeah yeah
Sie liebt dich yeah yeah yeah yeah

Du glaubst sie liebt nur mich     You believe she only loves me
Gestern hab ich sie gesehen       Yesterday I have seen her
Sie denkt ja nur an dich          She only thinks of you
und du solltest zu ihr gehen      and you should go to her

     (chorus)
Oh ja, sie liebt dich             Oh yes, she loves you
Schoener kann es gar nicht sein   Nicer (more beautiful) is not possible
Ja sie liebt dich                 yes she loves you
und da solltest du dich freuen    and you should be glad
                                      (ought to enjoy yourself)

Du hast ihr weh getan             You have hurt her
sie wuszte nicht warum            She does not know why
Du warst nicht Schuld daran       You were not to blame for that
und drehtest dich nicht um        and don't turn around

   (repeat chorus)

Sie liebt dich yeah yeah yeah
Sie liebt dich yeah yeah yeah     Because only with you she can be happy
Denn mit dir allein kann sie nur gluecklich sein

Du muszt jetzt zu ihr gehen       You must right now go to her
Entschuldig dich bei ihr          apologize yourself to her
Ja das wird sie verstehen         Yes she will understand that
und dan verzieht sie dir          and then she will forgive you

   (repeat chorus)

Sie liebt dich yeah yeah yeah
Sie liebt dich yeah yeah yeah
Denn mit dir allein kann sie nur gluecklich sein
Denn mit dir allein kann sie nur gluecklich sein
Denn mit dir allein kann sie nur gluecklich sein
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah


Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand          Come, give me your hand
Composer    : John Lennon, Paul McCartney
German words: Heinz Hellmer, Nicolas

Oh komm doch, komm zu mir         Oh come on, come to me
Du nimmst mir den Verstand        You take away my mind
Oh komm doch, komm zu mir         Oh come on, come to me
Komm gib mir deine Hand           come give me your hand
Komm gib mir deine Hand
Komm gib mir deine Hand

Oh du bist so shoen               Oh you are so nice (or beautiful)
shoen wie ein Diamant             beautiful like a diamond
Ich will mit dir gehen            I want to go with you  (going steady)
Komm gib mir deine Hand
Komm gib mir deine Hand
Komm gib mir deine Hand

     (chorus)                     In your arms I am happy and glad
In deinen Armen bin ich gluecklich und froh
Das war noch nie bei einer Ander einmal so
einmal so, einmal so               that happened never before with another
                      (that was upto now never with another once like this)

     (repeat first verse)
     (repeat chorus)
     (repeat second verse)


Hope this helps a little.
