Der Liebestrunkene
 (Sung text for setting by O. Nicolai)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mich liebt ein Mädchen, wunderschön 
Wie keines weit umher; 
So lange sich die Sterne dreh'n, 
Wer sah so eines? wer? 

Den Nektarkelch der Liebe reicht 
Des Rosenmundes Kuß; 
Ein Blick des Zauberauges scheucht 
Den Gram zum Tartarus. 

 ... 

Ja böte für mein Liebchen mir 
Der König seine Kron’: 
Ei großen, großen Dank dafür! 
Spräch' ich mit Spott und Hohn. 

An ihrer Brust reizt keine Kron’ 
Den liebetrunknen Blick; 
Hoch über eines Kaisers Thron 
Erhebt mich Minneglück!

Composition:

    Set to music by (Carl) Otto Ehrenfried Nicolai (1810 - 1849), "Der Liebestrunkene", WoO. 5, stanzas 1-2,5-6
