by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Warum willst du And're fragen

Our translations:  CAT CHI DUT ENG FRE ITA
Warum willst du And're fragen,
  Die's nicht meinen treu mit dir?
  Glaube nichts, als was dir sagen
  Diese beiden Augen hier.

Glaube nicht den fremden Leuten,
  Glaube nicht dem eig'nen Wahn;
  Nicht mein Thun auch sollst du deuten,
  Sondern sieh' die Augen an.

Schweigt die Lippe deinen Fragen,
  Oder zeugt sie gegen mich?
  Was auch meine Lippen sagen,
  Sieh' mein Aug' -- ich liebe dich.
