by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Es drängt die Not, es läuten die Glocken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Es drängt die Not, es läuten die Glocken,
Und ach! ich hab den Kopf verloren!
Der Frühling und zwei schöne Augen,
Sie haben sich wider mein Herz verschworen.

Der Frühling und zwei schöne Augen
Verlocken mein Herz in neue Betörung!
Ich glaube, die Rosen und Nachtigallen
Sind tief verwickelt in dieser Verschwörung.
