Wenn sanft du mir im Arme schliefst, ich deinen Atem hören konnte, im Traum du meinen Namen riefst, um deinen Mund ein Lächeln sonnte - Glückes genug. Und wenn nach heißem, ernstem Tag du mir verscheuchtest schwere Sorgen, wenn ich an deinem Herzen lag und nicht mehr dachte an ein Morgen - Glückes genug.

When you slept softly in my arms, I could hear your breath; in a dream, you called my name and your mouth beamed a smile - that was happiness enough. And when, after a hot, solemn day you chased away my heavy cares - when I lay against your heart and thought no more of tomorrow - that was happiness enough.
