by Elisabeth Pauline Ottilie Luise zu Wied, Prinzessin (1843 - 1916), as Carmen Sylva

So wie 's die liebe Sonne
Language: German (Deutsch) 
So wie 's die liebe Sonne 
Nicht lassen kann zu scheinen, 
So wie die düstre Wolke 
Muß Regenströme weinen,

So wie die Quelle sprudelt, 
Der Bach muß ewig fließen, 
So wie 's den hehren Strom treibt, 
Ins Meer sich zu ergießen, 

So wie die Liebe strebet, 
Geliebtes zu erringen,
Die Erde geht, der Sturm braust,
So muß, so muß ich singen.
