Galathea

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG ENG FRE LIT

Ach, wie brenn' ich vor Verlangen,
Galathea, schönes Kind,
Dir zu küssen deine Wangen,
weil sie so entzückend sind.

Wonne die mir widerfahre,
Galathea, schönes Kind,
Dir zu küssen deine Haare,
weil sie so verlockend sind.

Nimmer wehr mir, bis ich ende,
Galathea, schönes Kind,
Dir zu küssen deine Hände,
weil sie so verlockend sind.

Ach, du ahnst nicht, wie ich glühe,
Galathea, schönes Kind,
Dir zu küssen deine Knie,
weil sie so verlockend sind.

Und was tät ich nicht, du süße
Galathea, schönes Kind,
Dir zu küssen deine Füße,
weil sie so verlockend sind.

Aber deinen Mund enthülle,
Mädchen, meinen Küssen nie,
Denn in seiner Reize Fülle
küsst ihn nur die Phantasie.

Galatėja

Language: Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalba) after the German (Deutsch)

Net degu aš nuo troškimo,
Galatėja, gražuolyt,
Tavo skruostus išbučiuoti,
Nes jie man tokie mieli.

Žavesys mane vilioja,
Galatėja, gražuolyt,
Tavo plaukus liesti noriu,
Nes jie man tokie mieli.

Nuolat trokšiu, kol numirsiu,
Galatėja, gražuolyt,
Delnams tavo bučkį skirti,
Nes jie man tokie mieli.

Nežinai, kaip aš liepsnoju,
Galatėja, gražuolyt,
Tau kelius bučiuoti noriu,
Nes jie man tokie mieli.

Ko čia dar nepaminėjau,
Galatėja, gražuolyt?
Tavo pėdas lūpom liesčiau
Nes jos mielos kaip viltis.

Bet deja, tavųjų lūpų,
Nebučiuosiu niekada.
Karštu bučiniu jas liesti – 
Tik fantazijų valia...
