Liebeslied

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Ich nehme dich und küsse dich
Und lasse dich nicht von mir,
Ein blinder Bettler wäre ich,
Wär nicht mein Herz bei dir.

Seele, Sinne, alles Meine,
Es ist deine
Jederstund;
Laß mich küssen, laß mich küssen
Deine Hände, deine Stirne,
Deine Augen und den Mund.

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Add this translation to the Basket

Je te prends et t'embrasse
Et ne te laisse pas loin de moi,
Je serais un mendiant aveugle,
Si mon cœur n'était pas près de toi.

Âme, pensées, tout ce qui est à moi
Est à toi
À chaque instant ;
Laisse-moi embrasser, laisse-moi embrasser
Tes mains, ton front,
Tes yeux et ta bouche.
