Meine Liebe lebt in Liedern
Language: German (Deutsch)
Meine Liebe lebt in Liedern,
Die aus meinem Herzen kommen;
Nur dies Herz kann sie erwiedern,
Nur dies Herz hat sie vernommen.
[Und wie]1 Blum' und Wurzel wieder
Sterben in des Winters Tagen,
Sollt ihr einst auch meine Lieder
Und mein Herz zu Grabe tragen.

My love lives in the songs
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
My love lives in the songs
That come out of my heart;
Only this heart can reciprocate them,
Only this heart has heard them.
[And as]1 flowers and roots die
Once more in the days of winter,
Thus you shall someday carry
My songs and my heart to their grave.
