by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Ich hab dich geliebet und liebe dich...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ich hab dich geliebet und liebe dich noch!
Und fiele die Welt zusammen,
Aus ihren Trümmern stiegen doch
Hervor meiner Liebe Flammen.

Und wenn ich dich geliebet hab'
Bis meine Todesstunde,
So nehm' ich mit ins ewge Grab
Die große Liebeswunde.
