Was für ein Feuer, o was für ein Feuer
Language: German (Deutsch)
Was für ein Feuer, o was für ein Feuer
Warf in den Busen mir der Liebe Hand!
Schon setzt es meinen zarten Leib in Brand
Und wächst an deiner Brust noch ungeheuer.
Zwei Fackeln lodern nun in eins zusammen:
Die Augen, die mich anschaun, sind zwei Kerzen,
Die Lippen, die mich küssen, sind zwei Flammen,
Die Sonne selbst halt ich an meinem Herzen.

Quel feu, ô quel feu
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Quel feu, ô quel feu
La chère main jeta en mon sein !
Déjà il enflamme mon tendre corps
Et contre ta poitrine s'accroît encore prodigieusement.
Deux flambeaux brûlent maintenant à l'unisson :
Les yeux qui me regardent sont deux luminaires
Les lèvres qui m'embrassent sont deux flammes
Je porte en mon cœur le soleil lui-même.
