Wenn ich in deine Augen [seh']¹,
So schwindet [all' mein Leid]² und Weh; 
Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund,
So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund.

Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust,
Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust;
Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich!
[So]³ muß ich weinen bitterlich.

Quando ti guardo negli occhi

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Quando ti guardo negli occhi,
svanisce ogni mia pena e dolore;
e quando bacio la tua bocca
si risana tutto il mio essere.

Quando giaccio sul tuo petto,
scende su di me una gioia celeste;
ma quando dici: Ti amo!
piango lacrime amare.
