Was wollt ich, Liebster, dir nicht sagen, Was wollt ich, Liebster, dir nicht klagen In diesen linden Lenzesnächten -- -- ? Doch hat in meinem Rosengärtchen Zu laut die Nachtigall geschlagen! Wie warst du bleich, da ich erröthet, Wie hast du mir die Furcht getödtet Mit deinen flammenheissen Küssen! -- Es hat in meinem Rosengärtchen Zu süss die Nachtigall geflötet!

Beloved, what all would I like to tell you, Beloved, what all would I like to lament to you In these gentle springtime nights -- -- ? But in my rose-garden the nightingale Was jugging too loudly! How you grew pale when I blushed, How you killed my fear for me With your flamingly hot kisses! -- In my rose-garden the nightingale Fluted too sweetly!
