Mir ist, als müsst ich dir was sagen
See originalLanguage: German (Deutsch) after the English
Mir ist, als müßt' ich dir was sagen,
Als wollte dir mein Herz was klagen;
Mein tiefster Sinn beweget sich,
Mit jeder Regung lieb' ich dich.
...
Mein Herz den Banden will enteilen,
Mein Auge möcht' an deinem weilen,
Und Herz und Aug' ergießen sich;
Mit heissen Thränen lieb' ich dich.
Mir ist, als müßt' ich zu dir wallen,
Als Pilger dir zu Füßen fallen,
Von mancher Regung heilen mich,
Und ach nur sehen und lieben dich.

I feel as if I must tell you something,
As if my heart wishes to utter a lament to you;
My deepest spirit is moved,
I love you with every impulse.
...
My heart wishes to flee its bonds,
My eyes wish to dwell upon yours,
And heart and eyes overflow;
With fervent tears I love you.
It seems to me that I should undertake a journey to you,
To fall at your feet like a pilgrim,
To heal myself from many an impulse,
And ah, only to see and to love you.
