Es liegt der heiße Sommer
Auf deinen Wängelein;
Es liegt der Winter, der kalte,
In deinem Herzchen klein.

Das wird sich bei dir ändern,
Du Vielgeliebte mein!
Der Winter wird auf den Wangen,
Der Sommer im Herzen sein.

Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
'Tis summer, glorious summer
Within thine eyes divine,
'Tis winter, icy winter
In that silent heart of thine.

'T will not be so forever,
Mine own true love thou art;
In thine eyes it may be winter,
'T will be summer in thine heart.
