Meine Liebe lebt in Liedern,
Die aus meinem Herzen kommen;

Nur dies Herz kann sie erwiedern,

Meine Liebe lebt in Liedern,
Die aus meinem Herzen kommen;
Nur dies Herz kann sie erwiedern,

Wie die Blum' und Wurzel wieder
Sterben in des Winters Tagen,
Sollt ihr einst auch meine Lieder
Und mein Herz zu Grabe tragen.

Meine Liebe lebt in Liedern,

Nur dies Herz hat sie vernommen.
Nur dies Herz kann sie erwiedern,

Meine Liebe lebt in Liedern,

Nur dies Herz kann sie erwiedern,
Nur dies Herz hat sie vernommen.

My love lives in the songs
That come out of my heart;
Only this heart has heard them.
Only this heart can reciprocate them,
 ... 

My love lives in the songs
That come out of my heart;
Only this heart can reciprocate them,
Only this heart has heard them.

Like the flowers and roots die
Once more in the days of winter,
Thus you shall someday carry
My songs and my heart to their grave.

My love lives in the songs
That come out of my heart;
Only this heart has heard them.
Only this heart can reciprocate them,
 ... 

My love lives in the songs
That come out of my heart;
Only this heart can reciprocate them,
Only this heart has heard them.
