1. Wenn ich in deine Augen seh' [sung text not yet checked]
by Nicolai Berendt , "Wenn ich in deine Augen seh'", op. 3 (Vier Lieder) no. 2
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wenn ich in deine Augen [seh']1, So schwindet [all' mein Leid]2 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]3 muß ich weinen bitterlich.

1. When I gaze into your eyes
Language: English
When I gaze into your eyes, All my pain and woe vanishes; Yet when I kiss your lips, I am made wholly and entirely healthy. When I lay against your breast It comes over me like longing for heaven; Yet when you say, "I love you!" I must cry so bitterly.

2. From my tears sprout forth

From my tears sprout forth Many blooming flowers, And my sighing become joined with The chorus of the nightingales. And if you love me, dear child, I will send you so many flowers; And before your window should sound The song of the nightingale.
