Ich liebe dich und will dich ewig lieben
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Ich will von Neuem dir es angeloben,
Und alle Götter hören mich da oben!
In meinem tiefsten Herzen steht's geschrieben,
Ich liebe dich und will dich ewig lieben!
Ein Feuer fühl' ich heftig in mir brennen,
Die Liebe ist's, willst du es anders nennen!
Im Innern steht's mit Flammenschrift geschrieben:
Ich liebe dich und will dich ewig lieben!
Und laß mich dann auch in dein Auge blicken,
Gewähre mir dies himmlische Entzücken!
So lange nur, bis dort auch steht geschrieben:
Ich liebe dich und will dich ewig lieben!

I love you and shall love you forever!
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
I want to swear it to you anew,
And [may] all the gods above hear me!
It is written in the depths of my heart:
I love you and shall love you forever!
I feel a fire burning intensely within me.
It is love, [even if] you give it another name!
Within me is written in letters of fire:
I love you and shall love you forever!
And let me then look into your eyes as well,
Grant me this heavenly rapture
Only until there, too, it is written:
I love you and shall love you forever!
