Mutter, Mutter! glaube nicht
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE
Mutter, Mutter! glaube nicht,
Weil ich ihn lieb' also sehr,
Daß nun Liebe mir gebricht,
Dich zu lieben wie vorher.
Mutter, Mutter! seit ich ihn
Liebe, lieb' ich erst dich sehr.
Laß mich an mein Herz dich zieh'n
Und dich küssen, wie mich er.
Mutter, Mutter! seit ich ihn
Liebe, lieb' ich erst dich ganz,
Daß du mir das Sein verlieh'n,
Das mir ward zu solchem Glanz.

Bride's song
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Mother, mother, do not believe
That because I love him so much
I am now short of love
With which to love you as I have in the past.
Mother, mother, since I love him
I now truly love you.
Let me draw you to my heart
And kiss you as he kisses me!
Mother, mother! Since I love him
I finally love you completely
For giving me the existence
That has become so radiant for me.
