by Georg Eduard Goltermann (1824 - 1898), "Liebessehnen", op. 7 (Fünf Gesänge) no. 4 [ baritone and piano ]
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Lehn deine Wang' an meine Wang',
Dann fliessen die Tränen zusammen;
Und an mein Herz drück fest dein Herz,
Dann schlagen zusammen die Flammen!

Und wenn in die große Flamme fliesst
Der Strom von [unsern]1 Tränen,
Und wenn [dich mein Arm]2 gewaltig umschließt -
Sterb' ich vor Liebessehnen!

1. Poggia la tua guancia alla mia guancia
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Poggia la tua guancia alla mia guancia
Scorreranno insieme le lacrime;
il tuo cuore stringi forte al mio cuore,
arderanno insieme le fiamme!
 
E quando nella grande fiamma si sarà versato
tutto il  fiume del nostro pianto,
quando nel mio abbraccio ti terrò stretta forte --
Nella brama d'amore troverò la morte!

Aufs Haupt [dir]4 legen sollt',
[Betend]5, daß [Gott dich]6 erhalte
[So rein und schön und hold]7.

2. Tu sei come un fiore
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
    Tu sei come un fiore,
così soave, bella e pura;
io ti guardo, e di malinconia
si commuove il mio cuore.

    E' come se stendessi
le mani sul tuo capo,
pregando Dio che ti conservi
così pura e bella e soave.
