Daphne, deine Rosenwangen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): DUT ENG FRE
Daphne, deine Rosenwangen
soll ich morgen wieder sehn!
Einzig du bist mein Verlangen,
Gold kann ich bei dir verschmäh'n.
Weg mit Hoheit, weg mit Schätzen,
keinen Wunsch erregt ihr mir.
Daphne nur kann mich ergötzen,
glücklich bin ich nur bei ihr.
Fürsten würden mich beneiden,
wüssten sie mein Glücke ganz.
Mein Triumph gibt höh're Freuden
als der Helden Lorbeerkranz.
Ewig, ewig uns zu lieben
bleibet uns're süße Pflicht.
Bei so feur'gen, lautern Trieben
fehlt es uns an Glücke nicht.

Daphne, it is your rosy cheeks
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Daphne, it is your rosy cheeks
I am to see again tomorrow!
Only you are my desire,
I will even reject gold for you.
Off with titles, off with treasure,
they are of no interest to me.
It is only Daphne who can enthrall me,
only with her I am happy.
Princes would envy me,
if they knew about my entire happiness.
My triumph makes me happier
than the heroes' laurel wreath.
Eternal love
is our sweet lot.
With these glowing, pure desires
we are not missing happiness.
