from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Hugo Conrat (1845 - 1906)

Weit und breit schaut niemand mich an
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Hungarian (Magyar) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Weit und breit schaut niemand mich an,
und wenn sie mich hassen, was liegt mir dran?
Nur mein Schatz der soll mich lieben allezeit,
soll mich küssen, umarmen und herzen in Ewigkeit.

Kein Stern blickt in finsterer Nacht;
keine Blum mir strahlt in duftiger Pracht.
Deine Augen sind mir Blumen Sternenschein,
die mir leuchten so freundlich, die blühen nur mir allein.
