Ich liebe dich Und finde dich Wenn auch der Tag ganz dunkel wird. Mein Lebelang Und immer noch Bin suchend ich umhergeirrt. Ich liebe dich! Ich liebe dich! Ich liebe dich! Es öffnen deine Lippen sich . . . Die Welt ist taub, Die Welt ist blind Und auch die Wolke Und das Laub - - Nur wir, der goldene Staub Aus dem wir zwei bereitet: - Sind!

I love you And find you Though the day grows completely dark. My whole life And still I strayed about, searching. I love you! I love you! I love you! Your lips part . . . The world is deaf, The world is blind And also the cloud And the foliage -- -- Only we, the golden dust From which two are fashioned: -- Are!
