Wann Zwei sich lieben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG
Wann Zwei sich lieben 
Von ganzem Herzen,
Die müssen ertragen 
Der Trennung Schmerzen.

Wann Zwei sich lieben 
Aus tiefster Seele,
Die müssen glauben 
An Himmelsbefehle.

Wann Zwei sich lieben 
Mit Gottesflammen,
Geschieht ein Wunder
Und bringt sie zusammen!
