Dein ist mein Herz
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): DUT ENG FRE
Dein ist mein Herz, mein Schmerz dein eigen,
Und alle Freuden, die es sprengen,
Dein ist der Wald mit allen Zweigen,
Den Blüten allen und Gesängen.
Das Liebste, was ich mag erbeuten
Mit Liedern, die mein Herz entführten,
Ist mir ein Wort, daß sie dich freuten,
Ein stummer Blick, daß sie dich rührten.

Yours is my heart
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Yours is my heart, my pain is your own
and all the joy that blasts it;
yours is the forest, with all the branches,
all the blossoms, and the songs.
The best prize that I may hope to carry off,
with songs that captured my heart,
is one word to me that they delighted you,
one mute glance, that they moved you.
