Lass mich dein Auge küssen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Lass mich dein Auge küssen,
du weißt es, ich liebe dich, 
ich lieb' deine Seele,
darum ja liebe ich dich.

Lass deinen Mund und meinen Mund
zusammenschließen im Kuss,
ich liebe deine Seele,
darum ja küsse ich dich.

Lass uns're pochenden Herzen
an unseren Herzen ruh'n,
nun mögen sie Ruhe finden,
nun mögen sie stille steh'n.

O let me kiss thine eye, sweet
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
O let me kiss thine eye, sweet,
whose presence I adore,
I love thy soul sweet,
shall love thee evermore.

O let thy lips upon my lips
be seal'd in one sweet kiss,
I love thee heart and soul, sweet,
else I'd not plead for a kiss.

O let our beating hearts, sweet,
be fondly together prest.
O then may they cease from throbbing,
then let them be at rest.
