Drie Heine-liederen

Song Cycle by Korstiaan Stougie (1908 - 1988)

1. Du hast  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du hast Diamanten und Perlen,
Hast alles, was Menschenbegehr,
Und hast die schönsten Augen -
Mein Liebchen, was willst du mehr?

Auf deine schönen Augen
Hab ich ein ganzes Heer
Von ewigen Liedern gedichtet -
Mein Liebchen, was willst du mehr?

Mit deinen schönen Augen
Hast du mich gequält so sehr,
Und hast mich zu Grunde gerichtet -
Mein Liebchen, was willst du mehr?

2. Wer zum ersten Male liebt  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wer zum ersten Male liebt,
Seis auch glücklos, ist ein Gott;
Aber wer zum zweiten Male
Glücklos liebt, der ist ein Narr.

Ich, ein solcher Narr, ich liebe
Wieder ohne Gegenliebe!
Sonne, Mond und Sterne lachen,
Und ich lache mit - und sterbe.
