Erwin
 Sie liebt mich!
 Sie liebt mich!
Sie liebt mich, sie liebt mich, ja sie liebt mich
 Welch schreckliches Beben! 
 Fühl' ich mich selber?
 Bin ich am Leben? 
 Sie liebet mich!
 Sie  liebet mich!
Ach, kann die Seele dich denn erfassen,
Glück ohne Name kann ich dich lassen!
Einmal erwacht, einmal erwacht! 
Glück ohne Name! 
Sie liebt mich, sie liebt mich, ja! sie liebt mich!

 Sie liebt mich!
 Sie liebt mich!
Sie liebt mich, sie liebt mich, ja sie liebt mich
 ... 

 Ach, rings so anders! 
 Bist du's noch, Sonne?
 Bist du's noch, Hütte? 
 Trage die Wonne,
 Seliges Herz! 
 Sie liebt mich!
 Sie liebt mich!
Sie liebt mich, sie liebt mich, ja sie liebt mich

She loves me

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Lang)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Erwin
 She loves me,
 She loves me!
She loves me, she loves me, yes she loves me!
 What an exalted trembling --
 Am I aware of myself?
 Am I alive? 
 She loves me, 
 She loves me!
 Ah, can the soul comprehend you happiness,
 Happiness without name, can I do without you,
 Once you are awakened, once awakened? 
 Happiness without name!

 She loves me,
 She loves me!
She loves me, she loves me, yes she loves me!
 ... 

 Ah, everything around me is so different; 
 Sun, is that still you?
 Is that still you, little hut? 
 Bear the joy,
 Blessed heart!
 She loves me, 
 She loves me!
She loves me, she loves me, yes she loves me!

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1,1(lines1,2),2 of the original text.
