Our translations:  FRE
Fluch den Augen, die mein Liebchen schauen!
Fluch den Händen, die es fühlen können!
Fluch den Straßen, Wäldern, Fluren, Auen!
Denen ich die liebe Näh muss gönnen!
Wär' ich doch der Hauch aus seinem Munde!
Wär' ich doch der Stein, auf dem er schreitet!
Wär' sein Blut ich, das in steter Stunde
Nach dem vielgeliebten Herzen gleitet!
