Ewige Liebe

(Sung text for setting by C. Loewe)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Hauch der Liebe ist das Lüftchen,
  Das im Lenz die Wange küßt,
Hauch der Liebe Duft der Rose,
  Wenn sie ihren Kelch erschließt.
Hauch der Liebe schwellt die Quelle,
  Wenn sie still vorüberklingt,
Hauch der Liebe ist das Liedchen,
  Das der kleine Vogel singt.

Eternal love

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Loewe)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

A breath of love is the little breeze
  That kisses my cheek in springtime,
A breath of love is the scent of the rose,
  When it opens its calyx.
A breath of love swells the water-spring,
  When it quietly rings in passing,
A breath of love is the little song
  That the birdlet sings.
