Einmal aus seinen Blicken,
Von seinem süßen Mund,
Soll Gruß und Kuß erquicken
Des Herzens trüben Grund,

Ich kann ihn nicht vergessen,
Ich kann es nicht bereu'n,
Ich sünd'ge nicht vermessen,
Der Himmel wird verzeih'n!

Add this translation to your Reprint Basket
If once, through his gazes,
by his sweet mouth,
his greeting and kiss should revive
my heart of its troubled foundation,

I will not forget him,
I cannot regret it;
I will commit sins without measure -
Heaven forgive me!
