Niemals hat von seinem Sehnen

Available translation(s): ENG
Niemals hat von seinem Sehnen
Er ein Wörtlein mir gesprochen,
Und doch schau' ich seine Blicke,
Und doch hör' sein Herz ich pochen.
Aber wenn in stillen Nächten
Seine Klänge zu mir schweben,
Dann erschließt er mir ein ganzes
Reiches, großes Liebesleben.

About his yearning he never
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
About his yearning he never
Spoke a word to me,
And yet I see his gazes,
And yet I hear his heart pounding.
But when in quiet nights
His tones waft to me,
Then he opens for me an entire
Rich, great life of love.
