by Carl Cobelli , "Das Meer hat seine Perlen", op. 10 (Lieder) no. 3
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das Meer hat seine Perlen,
Der Himmel hat seine Sterne,
Aber mein Herz, mein Herz,
Mein Herz hat seine Liebe.

Groß ist das Meer und der Himmel,
Doch größer ist mein Herz,
Und schöner als Perlen und Sterne
Leuchtet und strahlt meine Liebe.

Du kleines, junges Mädchen,
Komm an mein großes Herz;
Mein Herz und das Meer und der Himmel
Vergehn vor lauter Liebe.

by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
1. By the sea
Language: English 
The sea has its pearls
the sky [has] its stars
but my heart, my heart
my heart has its love.

The sea and the sky are big
but my heart is even bigger
and my heart twinkles and shines
more beautifully than pearls and stars.

You small, young girl,
come to my big heart;
my heart, the sea and the sky
are dying of loud love.]
