Diese Rose von heimlichen Küssen schwer: Sieh, das ist unsre Liebe. Unsre Hände reichen sie hin und her, unsre Lippen bedecken sie mehr und mehr mit Worten und Küssen sehnsuchtsschwer, unsre Seelen grüßen sich hin und her - wie über ein Meer - - wie über ein Meer - - - Diese Rose vom Duft unsrer Seelen schwer: sieh, das ist unsre Liebe.

This rose, rich with furtive kisses: Look: this is our love. Our hands pass it back and forth, Our lips cover it more and more With words and kisses rich with longing; Our souls greet each other, back and forth - As if across an ocean -- as if across an ocean -- This rose, rich with the fragrance of our souls: Look, this is our love.
