O Sonnenschein! o Sonnenschein!
Wie scheinst du mir ins Herz hinein,
Weckst drinnen lauter Liebeslust,
Daß mir so enge wird die Brust!
...
O Sonnenschein! Du glaubest wohl,
Daß ich wie du es machen soll,
Der jede schmucke Blume küßt,
Die eben nur sich dir erschließt?

O sunshine, o sunshine!
How you shine into my heart,
awakening in it such a pure joy in love
that my chest soon feels too narrow!
...
O sunshine, do you well believe
that I should do just as you do,
and kiss each attractive flower,
that blooms just for you?
