Wenn ich in deine Augen seh',
So schwindet alles Leid 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 muß ich weinen bitterlich.

Als ik jou in de ogen kijk

(Sung text translation for setting by O. Dresel)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Als ik jou in de ogen kijk,
Neemt al mijn treurnis snel de wijk;
Maar als ik kussen mag je mond,
Dan word ik helemaal gezond.
 
Als ik mij neervlij aan jouw borst,
Voel ik mij haast een hemelvorst;
Maar als jij zegt: ik hou van jou!
Dan moet ik huilen; droom ik nou?
