Ich weiß ein Lied von wundersüßem Klang
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ich weiß ein Lied von wundersüßem Klang,
ein Dichter Persiens hat es einst gesungen;
wem dieses Lied wohl je zu Ohren drang,
den hat's mit überird'scher Macht bezwungen.

O dürfte ich mit dir im Mondenschein
am Rheinesufer wandeln auf und nieder
und leise flüstern in die Seele dir
dies wunderbarste aller Minnelieder!
