 Sie liebt mich!
 Sie liebt mich!
 Welch schreckliches Beben! 
 Fühl' ich mich selber?
 Bin ich am Leben? 
 Sie liebt mich!
 Sie liebt mich!

 Ach, rings so anders! 
 Bist du's noch, Sonne?
 Bist du's noch, Hütte? 
 Trage die Wonne,
 Seliges Herz! 
 Sie liebt mich!
 Sie liebt mich!

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Erwin
 She loves me,
 she loves me!
 What an exalted trembling --
 am I aware of myself?
 Am I alive? 
 She loves me, 
 she loves me!

 Ah, everything around me is so different; 
 sun, is that still you?
 Is that still you, little hut? 
 Bear the joy,
 Blessed heart!
 She loves me, 
 she loves me!
