Nein, Geliebter, setze dich mir so nahe nicht! Starre nicht so brünstiglich mir ins Angesicht! Wie es auch im Busen brennt, dämpfe deinen Trieb, daß es nicht die Welt erkennt, wie wir uns so lieb.

Dearest, no, don’t sit so close, leave a little space! Don’t betray your lust – it shows! – staring at my face. Even as your urges burn, douse them, as it were, for the world must not yet learn that we are a pair.

Flammenauge, dunkles Haar, Knabe wonnig und verwogen, Kummer ist durch dich hinein in mein armes Herz gezogen! Kann in Eis der Sonne Brand, sich in Nacht der Tag verkehren? Kann die heisse Menschenbrust atmen ohne Glutbegehren? Ist die Flur so voller Licht, daß die Blum' im Dunkel stehe? Ist die Welt so voller Lust, daß das Herz in Qual vergehe?

Pitch-black hair and eyes aflame, daring and delightful lad, through your doing, all the same, my poor heart and soul are sad. Can the day turn into night, turn to ice a blazing fire? Can a living bosom breathe never having felt desire? Are the fields so full of light that the flow’r stands in the gloom? Is the world so full of joy that the heart must meet its doom?

Nun, ihr Musen, genug! Vergebens strebt ihr zu schildern, Wie sich Jammer und Glück wechseln in liebender Brust. Heilen könnet die Wunden ihr nicht, die Amor geschlagen; Aber Linderung kommt einzig, ihr Guten, von euch.

Now, you muses, enough! In vain you strive to describe how joy and sorrow might mix inside a heart filled with love. Heal you cannot the wounds that unerring Amor inflicted, but any balm will come from you, o Good Ones, alone.
