by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Translation by Alma Strettell (1856 - 1939)
Wenn ich in deine Augen seh'
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wenn ich in deine Augen [seh']1, So schwindet [all' mein Leid]2 und Weh; Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund, So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund. Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust, Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust; Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich! [So]3 muß ich weinen bitterlich.

Dear, when I look into thine eyes
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Dear, when I look into thine eyes, My deepest sorrow straightway flies; But when I kiss thy mouth, ah, then No thought remains of bygone pain! And when I lean upon thy breast, No dream of heaven could be more blest; But, when thou say'st thou lovest me, I fall to weeping bitterly.
