by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729 - 1781)

Kleine Schöne, küsse mich!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kleine Schöne, küsse mich!
Kleine Schöne, schämst du dich?
Küsse geben, Küsse nehmen,
Darf dich jetzt noch nicht beschämen.
O wie schmackhaft küsset sie!
Kleiner Engel schon so früh!

Küsse mich noch hundertmal!
Küss und merk der Küsse Zahl.
Ich will dir, bei meinem Leben!
Alle zehnfach wiedergeben,
Wenn der Kuss kein Scherz mehr ist,
Und du zehn Jahr älter bist.
