Wenn sanft du mir im Arme schliefst
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wenn sanft du mir im Arme schliefst, ich deinen Atem hören konnte, im Traum du meinen Namen riefst, um deinen Mund ein Lächeln sonnte - Glückes genug. Und wenn nach heißem, ernstem Tag du mir verscheuchtest schwere Sorgen, wenn ich an deinem Herzen lag und nicht mehr dachte an ein Morgen - Glückes genug.

Štěstí to dost
Language: Czech (Čeština) after the German (Deutsch)
Když něžne spala's v loktech mých, že moh jsem slyšet dech tvůj váti mé jméno vzkřikla ve snech svých, kol rtů tvých když zřel jsem úsměv pláti. Štěstí to dost . A když pak po dnech přísných, žhavých mě zaplašila's starost z nitra. ja spočinuv na srdci tvém, nemyslil co bude zítra. Štěstí to dost .
