Befrei mich von den Banden deiner Süße,...
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the English 
Our translations:  ITA
Befrei mich von den Banden deiner Süße, Lieb!
Nichts mehr von diesem Wein der Küsse,
Dieser Nebel von schwerem Weihrauch erstickt mein Herz.
Öffne die Türe, mach Platz für das Morgenlicht.
Ich bin in dich verloren,
Eingefangen in die Umarmungen deiner Zärtlichkeit.
Befrei mich von deinem Zauber
Und gib mir den Mut zurück,
Dir mein befreites Herz darzubieten.

Liberami, amore, dai lacci della tua dolcezza!
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Liberami, amore, dai lacci della tua dolcezza!
Non più il vino dei tuoi baci,
e questa nebbia di greve incenso che soffoca il mio cuore.
Apri le porte, fai spazio alla luce del mattino.
Mi sono perduto in te,
catturato nell'abbraccio della tua tenerezza.
Liberami dal tuo incanto,
e restituiscimi il coraggio
di offrirti il mio cuore liberato.
