Lehn' deine Wang' Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch)
Lehn deine Wang' an meine Wang', Dann fliessen die Tränen zusammen; Und an mein Herz drück fest dein Herz, Dann schlagen zusammen die Flammen! Und wenn in die große Flamme fliesst Der Strom von unsern Tränen, Und wenn dich mein Arm gewaltig umschließt - Sterb' ich vor Liebessehnen!
