Will dich lehren was von Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Will dich lehren was von Liebe,
Stehe auf am Morgen früh,
Eine Lilie aus dem Garten
Von dem Stengel breche sie.
Setz' an's Feuer sie ein Stündchen,
Laß sie länger kochen nicht:
Und dann wasche mit den Händchen
Dir dein liebes Angesicht.

I wish to teach you something about love
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
I wish to teach you something about love;
Get up early in the morning,
A lily from the garden
Break from its stalk.
Place it near the fire for a short hour,
Do not let it cook any longer than that:
And then with your little hands
Wash your dear face.
