O liebliche Wangen, Ihr macht mir Verlangen, Dies rote, dies weiße Zu schauen mit Fleiße. Und dies nur alleine Ist's nicht, [das]1 ich meine; Zu schauen, zu grüssen, Zu rühren, zu küssen! Ihr macht mir Verlangen, O liebliche Wangen! O Sonne der Wonne! O Wonne der Sonne! O Augen, so saugen Das Licht meiner Augen. O englische Sinnen! O himmlisch Beginnen! O Himmel auf Erden, Magst du mir nicht werden, O Wonne der Sonne! O Sonne der Wonne! O Schönste der Schönen! Benimm mir dies Sehnen, Komm, eile, komm, komme, Du süße, du fromme! Ach, Schwester, ich sterbe, Ich sterb', ich verderbe, Komm, [tröste, komm, heile]2, Benimm mir dies Sehnen, O Schönste der Schönen!
1 Brahms: "was"
2 Brahms: "komme, komm, eile"

הו לחיים יפות אתן מעוררות בי תשוקה. באדום, בלבן אני עסוק להסתכל. וזה בלבד אינו כוונתי, להסתכל, לברך, לגעת, לנשק. הו שמש התענוג, הו תענוג השמש! הו עיניים המוצצות את האור מעיניי. הו תשוקה של מלאכים! הו תחילה שמימית! הו שמיים עלי אדמות, הלא רוצה את להיות לי? הו היפה בין היפות, קחי ממני את געגועיי. בואי מהר, בואי, בואי, מתוקה, טובה. הו אחותי, אני מת, אני מת, הנני מתמוטט. בואי, בואי, בואי מהר, קחי ממני את געגועיי, הו היפה בין היפות!Text Authorship:
