by Robert Reinick (1805 - 1852)

Ich hab' dich geliebt, du ahntest es...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ich hab' dich geliebt, du ahntest es nicht.
Ich [wollte sprechen]1, ich durft' es nicht,
Ich harrte besserer Stunden.

Die [besseren]2 Stunden, ich fand sie nicht,
Ein [anderer]3 kam, [er]4 zögerte nicht.
Ich bin deinem Herzen entschwunden.

Wohl mag er dich lieben, ich weiss es nicht;
Ob treuer, als ich, ich glaub' es nicht.
O, hättest dein Glück du gefunden!
