Lehn deine Wang' an meine Wang'

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA

Lehn deine Wang' an meine Wang',
Dann fliessen die Tränen zusammen;
Und an mein Herz drück fest dein Herz,
Dann schlagen zusammen die Flammen!

Und wenn in die große Flamme fliesst
Der Strom von unsern Tränen,
Und wenn dich mein Arm gewaltig umschließt -
Sterb' ich vor Liebessehnen!

Leg nu je wang

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Vlij nu je wang aan die van mij,
Dan vloeien de tranen tezamen;
En tegen mijn hart druk vast jouw hart,
Dan slaan uit hen samen de vlammen!
 
En als dan in 't grote vlamgeweld
De tranen samenvloeien,
En als dan mijn arm jou krachtig omknelt --
Sterf ik van liefdesgloeien!
