Sie liebt mich!
Sie liebt mich!
Welch schreckliches Beben!

Sie liebt mich!
Ach, rings so anders!

Bist du's noch, Hütte?
Trage die Wonne,
Seliges Herz!
Sie liebt mich!

She loves me
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Erwin
She loves me,
she loves me!
What an exalted trembling --
am I aware of myself?
Am I alive?
She loves me,
she loves me!
Ah, everything around me is so different;
sun, is that still you?
Is that still you, little hut?
Bear the joy,
Blessed heart!
She loves me,
she loves me!

1 Translation of Lang's addition:
Ah, can the soul comprehend you [happiness],
Happiness without name, can I do without you,
Once [you are] awakened, once awakened[?] Happiness without name!
She loves me, she loves me, yes, she loves me!
