In deine Augen will ich schauen, Wenn ich dir nahe bin; Auf [diesen]1 Himmel will ich bauen, Und diesen Sternen will ich trauen, In deine Augen will ich schauen, Wenn ich dir nahe bin. Dein liebes Bild soll mich umschweben, Wenn ich dir ferne bin. Ich will mich nicht dem Schmerz ergeben, In deiner Nähe will ich leben, Dein liebes Bild soll mich umschweben, Wenn ich dir ferne bin. Und jauchzend will ich dich umfangen, Wenn ich dich [wiederseh']2, Es naht das Ziel, nach dem wir rangen, Gestillt ist jegliches Verlangen, Und jauchzend will ich dich umfangen, Wenn ich dich [wiederseh']2.
1 Raff: "diesem"
2 Raff: "wieder seh'"

נִבֶּטֶת דְּמוּתִי בְּאִישׁוֹנַיִךְ כְּשֶקָּרוֹב אֲנִי אֵלַיִךְ. אֶל מוּל רָקִיַע מִשְׁתוֹחַחַת נַפְשִׁי; בַּכּוֹכָבִים בּוֹטַחַת. נִבֶּטֶת דְּמוּתִי בְּאִישׁוֹנַיִךְ כְּשֶקָּרוֹב אֲנִי אֵלַיִךְ. אוֹתִי בְּקֶסֶם אַתְּ אוֹפֶפֶת בְּתוֹךְ רוּחִי דְּמוּתֵך רוֹחֶפֶת. וְלֹא יִגַּע בִּי הַמַּכְאוֹב. תָּמִיד אֲנִי לָךְ כֹּה קָרוֹב... אוֹתִי בְּקֶסֶם אַתְּ אוֹפֶפֶת בְּתוֹךְ רוּחִי דְּמוּתֵך רוֹחֶפֶת. אֶחֱבֹק אוֹתָךְ אֲזַי בְּנַחַת כְּשֶׁנִהְיֶה שׁוּב שְׁנֵינוּ יַחַד. נִכְסָפִים זֶה אֶל זוֹ בְּעֵינַיִם כָּלוֹת... עָזָה שְׁקִיקָתֵנוּ, פּוֹרֶצֶת גְּבוּלוֹת. אֶחֱבֹק אוֹתָךְ אֲזַי בְּנַחַת כְּשֶׁנִהְיֶה שׁוּב שְׁנֵינוּ יַחַד.
