In dieser weiten Welt
Language: German (Deutsch)
In dieser weiten Welt
Gar viel vom Himmel fällt,
Manch' Stern und Blütenregen;
Doch seh' ich dein Gesicht,
Schau ich ins hellste Licht,
Draus kommt mir aller Segen;
In dieser weiten Welt
Mir anders nicht gefällt,
Als dich nur anzuschauen;
Je mehr mir das geschicht
Mein Herz zu mir das spricht,
Es gibt kein schöner Frauen

In this wide world
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
In this wide world
So much falls from heaven,
Some stars and showers of flowers;
Yet when I see your face
I look in the brightest light
From where comes all blessing.
In this wide world
Nothing else pleases me
As to look at you;
The more that happens to me
The more my heart speaks to me
There is no woman more beautiful.
