Lieder und Gesänge: Duette , opus 15

by Ludwig Siegfried Meinardus (1827 - 1896)

Translations available for the entire opus: FRE 

Heft 1 -- 3. Weil ich dich liebe  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Weil ich dich liebe, muß ich fliehend
Dein Antlitz meiden - zürne nicht.
Wie paßt dein Antlitz, schön und blühend,
Zu meinem traurigen Gesicht!

Weil ich dich liebe, wird so bläßlich,
So elend mager mein Gesicht -
Du fändest mich am Ende häßlich -
Ich will dich meiden - zürne nicht.
