So bald ein Herz die Liebe fand
Language: German (Deutsch)
So bald ein Herz die Liebe fand,
Blüht ihm die wunderschöne Welt,
Es schlingt ihr rosenrothes Band,
Sich durch der Hoffnung grünes Zelt.
Und wenn ein Herz die Liebe fand,
Ist kalt und nüchtern diese Welt,
Sie kennt ja nicht den lichten Brand,
Der seine innre Welt erhellt.
Ja, wenn ein Herz die Liebe fand,
Dann fand es seine eigne Welt,
Es fand ein unentdecktes Land,
Drin Seligkeit die Knospen schwellt.

As soon as a heart has found love
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
As soon as a heart has found love,
A wondrous world blooms for it,
The rose-red ribbon [of the world] winds itself
Through the green canopy of hope.
And when a heart has found love,
This world is cold and prosaic;
It does not know the bright flame
That illuminates [the heart’s] inner world.
Yes, when a heart has found love,
Then it has found its own world;
It has found an undiscovered land,
Wherein bliss causes the buds to swell.
