Wenn die Lieb' aus deinen blauen,
Hellen, offnen Augen sieht,
Und vor Lust hineinzuschauen,
Mir's im Herzen klopft und glüht;
Und ich halte dich, und küsse
Deine Rosenwangen warm;
Liebes Mädchen, und ich schließe
Zitternd dich in meinem Arm!
Mädchen, Mädchen! und ich drücke
Dich an meinen Busen fest,
Der im letzten Augenblicke
Sterbend nur dich von sich läßt;
Den berauschten Blick umschattet
Eine düstre Wolke mir;
Und ich sitze dann ermattet,
Aber selig, neben dir;

Når kjærligheten ut av dine blå,
lyse, åpne øyne skuer,
og av lyst til dit inn å se
mitt hjerte og banker og gløder;
og jeg holder deg og kysser
dine varme rosenkinn,
kjære unge kvinne, og jeg lukker
deg skjelvende inn i mine armer,
Kvinne, ja kvinne, jeg trykker
deg fast inntil mitt bryst,
hvorfra jeg kun i det siste øyeblikk,
døende, vil la deg gå;
Mitt berusede blikk omtåkes
av en dyster sky,
og så sitter jeg utmattet,
men salig, ved din side.
