Liebeslied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Lächle nur! Dein Lächenl holt gleich
dem ersten Strahl am Morgen,
der bezaubernd taucht in Gold,
was im Dunkeln lag verborgen

Was die Nacht mit Schleiern deckt,
Sonne wird's zu Tage bringen.
sei's auch noch so tief versteckt,
ihrem Zauber wird's gelingen.

Mir im Herzen wohnt vielleicht
manche Lust verhüllt von Sorgen,
die ein Sonnenstrahl verscheucht:
Wenn du lächelst, tagt der Morgen.

Canção de amor
Language: Portuguese (Português)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Ah! Sorrí! Teu doce sorriso
é do Sol raio primeiro,
Que encantado inunda de ouro,
o que as trevas ocultavam.

Noite, o que teu manto envolve,
volve ao dia com a luz do Sol;
nada existe que o esconda
da encantada luz do céu.

A alegria de meu peito
mergulhada em treva densa
a encantada luz espera:
pois teu riso é luz, teu riso é sol!
