1. Du liebst mich nicht, du liebst mich nicht  [sung text not yet checked]
by Joseph Huber (1837 - 1886), "Du liebst mich nicht, du liebst mich nicht", op. 13 (Zwei Lieder für 1 Singstimme mit Pianoforte) no. 1, published 1879 [ voice and piano ], Stuttgart, Stürmer
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du liebst mich nicht, du liebst mich nicht,
Das kümmert mich gar wenig;
Schau' ich dir nur ins Angesicht,
So bin ich froh wie'n König.

Du hassest, hassest mich sogar,
So spricht dein rotes Mündchen;
Reich mir es nur zum Küssen dar,
So tröst' ich mich, mein Kindchen.

1. You love me not
Language: English 
 You love me not, you love me not,
 but it only troubles me a little:
 If I only see your face,
 I am as happy as a King.
 
 You hate me, even detest me:
 so says your red little mouth;
 but if you would just put it up for a kiss,
 I would be much consoled, my darling.

Die [Tränen und die Seufzer]2,
Die kamen hinten nach.

2. When two people part
Language: English 
When two people part
They give each other their hands
And they begin to weep
And sigh endlessly!
We did not weep,
And did not sigh "woe" and "alas."
The tears and the sighs
Came afterwards!
