Ich denke dein,

Ich denke dein

Am Schattenquelle!
Wo denkst du mein?

Ich denke dein
Mit süßer Pein,
Mit bangem Sehnen

Auf besserm Sterne!
In jeder Ferne
Denk' ich nur dein!

Eu penso em você
Language: Portuguese (Português)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Eu penso em você 
quando, no bosque,
soam os acordes 
dos rouxinóis.
Quando é que você pensa em mim?

Eu penso em você 
na hora do pôr do sol, 
do brilho do entardecer, 
no expandir das sombras.
Onde é que você pensa em mim?

Eu penso em você 
com uma dor doce,
com um desejo ansioso 
e lágrimas quentes.
Como é que você pensa em mim?

Oh! Pense em mim 
até que estejamos unidos
sob melhores astros.
Seja qual for a distância 
eu penso somente em você!
