Willst du, daß ich dich

Willst du, daß ich dich als Schwester hege?
Willst du, daß ich als dein Kind dich ehre?
Oder daß ich dich als Mutter pflege?
Oder daß als Weib ich dich begehre?
Deine Freundin auch wär' ich geblieben,
Sklavin, Göttin, alles, wenn nur deine,
Willst du nur dich von mir lassen lieben
Aber, Lieber, nur von mir alleine!

Veux‑tu que je te dorlote comme une sœur ?

Veux-tu que je te dorlote comme une sœur ?
Veux-tu que je te respecte comme ton enfant ?
Ou bien que je te soigne comme une mère ?
Ou bien que je te désire comme une femme ?
Je pourrais aussi rester ton amie,
Esclave, déesse, n'importe, mais n'être qu'à toi,
Veux-tu seulement te faire aimer par moi,
Mais, mon amour, seulement par moi !
