So soll ich dich nun meiden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA SPA
[So soll]1 ich [dich nun]2 meiden,
Du meines Lebens Lust!
Du küssest mich zum Scheiden,
Ich drücke dich an die Brust!

Ach, Liebchen, heißt das meiden,
Wenn man sich [herzt und]3 küßt?
Ach, Liebchen, heißt das scheiden,
Wenn man sich fest umschließt?
