So wahr die Sonne scheinet
Language: German (Deutsch)
So wahr die Sonne scheinet, [So wahr die Wolke weinet, So wahr die Flamme sprüht]1, So wahr der Frühling blüht; So wahr hab' ich empfunden, Wie ich dich halt' umwunden: Du liebst mich, wie ich dich, Dich lieb' ich, wie du mich. Die Sonne mag verscheinen, Die Wolke nicht mehr weinen, Die Flamme mag versprühn, Der Frühling nicht mehr blühn! Wir wollen uns umwinden Und immer so empfinden; Du liebst mich, wie ich dich, Dich lieb' ich, wie du mich.

As truly as the sun shines
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
As truly as the sun shines, as truly as the clouds weep, as truly as the flames spark, as truly as Spring blooms, as truly as I felt as I held you in my embrace, you love me, as I love you, I love you, as you love me. The sun may stop shining, the clouds may weep no more, the flames may die down, Spring may blossom no more! but let us embrace and feel this way forever; You love me as I love you, and I love you as you love me.
