Nein, Geliebter, setze dich
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Russian (Русский)
Available translation(s): AFR CAT DUT ENG ENG FIN FRE ITA
Nein, Geliebter, setze dich
mir so nahe nicht!
Starre nicht so brünstiglich
mir ins Angesicht!
Wie es auch im Busen brennt,
dämpfe deinen Trieb,
daß es nicht die Welt erkennt,
wie wir uns so lieb.

Dearest, no, don’t sit so close
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Dearest, no, don’t sit so close,
leave a little space!
Don’t betray your lust – it shows! –
staring at my face.
Even as your urges burn,
douse them, as it were,
for the world must not yet learn
that we are a pair.
