Ich will vor deiner Thüre steh'n
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich will vor deiner Thüre steh'n, bis ich, mein Liebchen, dich geseh'n, und ständ ich auch die ganze Nacht; Du sollst am Fenster dich nur zeigen, zu mir dich freundlich niederbeugen, mir sagen, mir sagen Ich habe dein gedacht. Ich werde immer dich begleiten, und müßt' ich kämpfen, müßt' ich streiten, wohin es sei, dir folge ich! Du sollst die Blicke zu mir senden, nach mir nur freundlich hin dich wenden, mir sagen, mir sagen: ja, ich liebe dich. Weit von des Ebro's schönem Strande eilt ich dir nach in ferne Lande, in deiner Nähe muß ich sein, in deiner Nähe muß ich sein! Sieh', flehend sink' ich vor dir nieder und sage, und sage: Ewig bin ich dein.

Moorish serenade
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
All day thy house I'll stand before, All night I watch thy cottage door Until, sweet maid, thy form I see; : Or till thy gentle glance mine meeting : Shall give me but a friendly greeting : And tell, and tell me: I have thought of thee! To be near thee, my love, my life, I'll brave each danger, dare eache strife, So I but prove this faith of mine. : Deign but a smile, a glance, a token, Let me believe thy truth unbroken, And tell, and tell me: Yes, my heart is thine! Far from the Ebro's sunny strand I've sought thee in thy distant land, Where-e'er it be, thy home is mine! See at thy feet thy lover kneeling! Oh, hear him all his hopes revealing. And tell, and tell me: Ever I am thine!
From the Kücken score.
