Nimmer glaub ich, junge Schöne

Language: German (Deutsch)

Available translation(s): FRE

Nimmer glaub ich, junge Schöne,
Was die spröde Lippe spricht;
Solche große schwarze Augen,
Solche hat die Tugend nicht.

Diese braungestreifte Lüge,
Streif sie ab; ich liebe dich.
Laß dein weißes Herz mich küssen -
Weißes Herz, verstehst du mich?
