by Julius Wolff (1834 - 1910)

Geküßt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG
Was wehrst du dich und sträubst dich groß?
Ich halte dich fest umwunden 
Und lasse dich nicht [eher]1 los,
Als bis ich dein Mäulchen gefunden.

In Fesseln meine Linke schlug
Die Händchen dir auf [dem]2 Rücken,
Mein Arm hat dabei Kraft genug,
Dich an die Brust zu drücken.

Die Rechte nun umspannt dein Kinn,
Du wirst's wohl dulden müssen.
So wahr ich Hunold Singuf bin,
Mädel, es kommt [zum]3 Küssen!

Siehst du, wie folgsam du dich schmiegst?!
Die Angst war zu betäuben!
Und wenn du nun einen Schnurrbart kriegst
So kommt das nur [vom]4 Sträuben.
