Zwei Lieder von Heine

Song Cycle by Maude Valérie White (1855 - 1937)

1. Liebe
(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.

1. Love
(Sung text)

Language: English

One tender look from thy dear eyes,
Gladdens my heart and sorrow dies,
Buried beneath each loving kiss
Which speaks to me of heaven's bliss;

And when I clasp thee to my breast,
Every trouble sinks to rest,
But if thou say thou lovest me
Tears of remorse flow bitterly.

2. Im wunderschönen Monat Mai
(Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Im wunderschönen Monat Mai,
Als alle Knospen sprangen,  
Da ist in meinem Herzen
Die Liebe aufgegangen.

Im wunderschönen Monat Mai,
Als alle Vögel sangen, 
Da hab' ich ihr gestanden
Mein Sehnen und Verlangen.

2. 'Twas in the lovely month of May
(Sung text)

Language: English

'Twas in the lovely month of May
As all the flow'rs were budding
That love awoke in all its strength
My heart and fancy flooding.

'Twas in the lovely month of May
As all the birds were singing
That I confess'd my love to her
In accents sweet and ringing.
