Wenn die Lieb' aus deinen blauen, Hellen, offnen Augen sieht, Und vor Lust hinein zu schauen Mir's im Herzen klopft und glüht; Und ich halte dich und küße Deine Rosenwangen warm, Liebes Mädchen, und ich schließe Zitternd dich in meinem Arm, Mädchen, Mädchen, und ich drücke Dich an meinen Busen fest, Der im letzten Augenblicke Sterbend nur dich von sich läßt; Den berauschten Blick umschattet Eine düstre Wolke mir, Und ich sitze dann ermattet, Aber selig neben dir.

Quando l'amore si mostra nei tuoi occhi azzurri, chiari, aperti e per la gioia di guardare in quelli mi batte e mi arde il cuore, ed io ti tengo e bacio le tue tiepide guance di rosa, e ti stringo tremando fra le braccia, fanciulla, fanciulla, ti stringo forte al mio petto, che solo nell'ultimo istante, morendo, si separi da te, lo sguardo turbato mi veli una cupa nuvola, ed io stia poi sfinito, ma felice accanto a te.
