Hab' still dich im Herzen getragen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Hab' still dich im Herzen getragen,
So heimlich und so tief;
Ich konnte dir nicht sagen,
Was süß im Innern schlief.

  Nur einen Blick ich ersehne,
Sagt er mir mitleidsvoll:
"Mein Kind, was will die Thräne,
Die dir in's Auge quoll?"

I carried you quietly in my heart
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
  I carried you quietly in my heart,
So secretly and so deeply;
I could not tell you
What slumbered sweetly within.

  I yearn for only one glance,
If, full of compassion, it were to tell me:
"My child, wherefore the tears
That have welled up in your eyes?"
