Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Komm, Geliebte, komm Geliebte,
Ein zu mir in's Haus tritt!
Blicke meiner Stube Boden,
Blicke meinen Phühl an!
Deinetwegen ist der Boden,
Ist der Phühl, worauf ich lagre,
Thränenüberfluthet.

Come my love

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Come, my love, come, my love,
Walk into my house!
Look at the floor of my living room,
Look at my cushions!
Because of you, the floor
and the cushions upon which I was lying
Are flooded with tears.
