Wenn ich in deine Augen [seh']1,
So schwindet [all' mein Leid]2 und Weh; 
Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund,
So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund.

Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust,
Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust;
Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich!
[So]3 muß ich weinen bitterlich.

Когда гляжу тебе в глаза
 (Sung text for setting by N. Rimsky-Korsakov)
 Matches original text
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Когда гляжу тебе в глаза,
Стихает на сердце гроза;
Когда в уста тебя целую,
Душою верю в жизнь иную.

Когда склонюсь на грудь твою,
Не на земле я, а в раю!
Скажи 〈люблю〉 и сам не знаю,
О чём я горько зарыдаю!
