Dein ist mein ganzes Herz! Wo du nicht bist, kann ich nicht sein. So, wie die Blume welkt, wenn sie nicht küsst der Sonnenschein! Dein ist mein schönstes Lied, weil es allein aus der Liebe erblüht. Sag mir noch einmal, mein einzig Lieb, oh sag noch einmal mir: Ich hab dich lieb! Wohin ich immer gehe, ich fühle deine Nähe. Ich möchte deinen Atem trinken und betend dir zu Füssen sinken, dir, dir allein! Wie wunderbar ist dein leuchtendes Haar! Traumschön und sehnsuchtsbang ist dein strahlender Blick. Hör ich der Stimme Klang, ist es so wie Musik. Dein ist mein ganzes Herz! Wo du nicht bist, kann ich nicht sein. So, wie die Blume welkt, wenn sie nicht küsst der Sonnenschein! Dein ist mein schönstes Lied, weil es allein aus der Liebe erblüht. Sag mir noch einmal, mein einzig Lieb, oh sag noch einmal mir: Ich hab dich lieb!

My entire heart is yours! Where you are absent, I cannot exist, Just as the flower wilts When the sunshine does not kiss it! My most beautiful song belongs to you, Because it only bloomed forth from love. Say to me again, my only love, Oh say to me once again: I love you! Wherever I may go, I feel your presence. I would like to drink your breath and sink pleadingly at your feet, You, you alone! How wonderful is your shining hair! Beautiful as a dream and anxious with longing is your shining gaze. When I hear the sounds of [your] voice, it is like music. My entire heart is yours! Where you are absent, I cannot exist, Just as the flower wilts When the sunshine does not kiss it! My most beautiful song belongs to you, Because it only bloomed forth from love. Say to me again, my only love, Oh say to me once again: I love you!
