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.

Gdy się w twe cudne oczy wpatruję,
Nikną wnet moje cierpienia,
A gdy usteczka twoje całuję,
Boleść ma — w roskosz się zmienia.

Gdy cię aniele tulę do siebie...
Rajską się poję słodyczą...
Lecz kiedy szepczesz: ja kocham ciebie
Ach! Wtedy płaczę z goryczą.
