Ob auch finstere Blicke glitten
 (Sung text for setting by H. Wolf)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Ob auch finstre Blicke glitten,
Schöner Augenstern, aus dir,
Wird mir doch nicht abgestritten,
Daß du hast geblickt nach mir.
 
Wie sich auch der Strahl bemühte,
Zu verwunden meine Brust,
Giebt's ein Leiden, das die Lust,
Dich zu schaun, nicht reich vergüte?
Und so tödtlich mein Gemüthe
Unter deinem Zorn gelitten,
Wird mir doch nicht abgestritten,
Daß du hast geblickt nach mir.
