by August M. Canthal (1804 - 1881), "Wenn ich in deine Augen seh'", op. 280 (Zwei Lieder) no. 1, published 1876 [ high voice and piano ], Braunschweig, Litolff
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. Quando ti guardo negli occhi
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Quando ti guardo negli occhi,
svanisce ogni mia pena e dolore;
e quando bacio la tua bocca
si risana tutto il mio essere.

Quando giaccio sul tuo petto,
scende su di me una gioia celeste;
ma quando dici: Ti amo!
piango lacrime amare.

2. Lehn deine Wang' an meine Wang'  [sung text not yet checked]
by August M. Canthal (1804 - 1881), "Lehn deine Wang' an meine Wang'", op. 280 (Zwei Lieder) no. 2, published 1875 [ voice and piano ], in Die musikalische Welt, Braunschweig, Litolff
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!

2. 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!
