Und du kamest in mein Haus

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Und du kamest in mein Haus,
kamst mit deinen schwarzen Blicken;
sah ich still die Palmen nicken
und du gabst mir deinen Strauß.

Gabst die zitternden Narzissen,
die wir in der Wüste pflückten;
deine schwarzen Locken schmückten
meines Divans rote Kissen.

Kehre wieder in mein Haus,
laß die wilden Blumen blühen;
unsre junge Lippen glühen,
gieb mir, gieb mir deinen Strauß . . .
