Heine-Lieder

by Rodrigo Ruiz

1. Sag, wo ist dein schönes Liebchen
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
  "Sag, wo ist dein schönes Liebchen,
Das du einst so schön besungen,
Als die zaubermächt'gen Flammen
Wunderbar dein Herz durchdrungen?"

  Jene Flammen sind erloschen,
Und mein Herz ist kalt und trübe,
Und dies Büchlein ist die Urne
Mit der Asche meiner Liebe.

3. Wenn ich in dein' Augen seh'
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn ich in deine Augen seh',
So schwindet all' mein Leid und Weh; 
Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund,
So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund.

Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust,
Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust;
Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich!
So muß ich weinen bitterlich.
