Liebeslied
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ob ich lach oder ernst bin,
ob ich schaff' oder raste,
Kaum weiss ich davon.
Meine Seele tief innen, die lächelt still.
Hat die Augen geschlossen
und träumt von dir.

Love song
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Whether I laugh or [whether] I am serious,
Whether I create or rest,
I hardly know which.
My soul deep inside me -- it is laughing quietly.
Has closed its eyes
and dreams of you.
