Ich liebe dich ohne Schranken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ich liebe dich ohne Schranken,
Ich liebe dich treu und rein,
Du füllst mir meine Gedanken
Mit ewiger Sehnsuchtspein.

Nun ist mein Frieden versunken,
Mein Glück, ich find' es nicht --
Es ist meine Sele [sic] ertrunken
In Deiner Augen Licht.

O gib meine Sele [sic] mir wieder,
Zurück mir meine Ruh,
Ich gebe dir dann meine Lieder
Und gebe mich selbst dazu!

I love you boundlessly
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
I love you boundlessly,
I love you faithfully and purely,
You fill my thoughts
With eternal torment of yearning.

Now my peace has sunk away;
My happiness, I find it not --
My soul has drowned
In the light of your eyes.

Oh give my soul back to me,
Give back my peace,
I shall then give you my songs
And give myself as well!
