In Haven (Capri)
Language: English
Available translation(s): CAT GER ITA
Closely let me hold thy hand,
Storms are sweeping sea and land;
Love alone will stand.
Closely cling, for waves beat fast,
Foam-flakes cloud the hurrying blast;
Love alone will last.
Kiss my lips, and softly say:
Joy, sea-swept, may fade to-day;
Love alone will stay.

Im Hafen (Capri)
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the English
Lass dich halten bei der Hand,
Sturm braust über Meer und Land;
nur die Lieb’ hält stand.
Halt dich fest, hart brandet’s an,
Bö jagt Gischt um Gischt heran;
nur die Lieb’ hält an.
Küsse mich, dann lass mich sehn:
Wonne mag im Sturm verwehn;
Liebe bleibt bestehn.
