by Assim-Agha Gül-Hanandé
Translation by Bernhardine Schulze-Smidt (1846 - 1920)

Was wollt ich, Liebster, dir nicht sagen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Turkish (Türkçe) 
Our translations:  ENG
Was wollt ich, Liebster, dir nicht sagen,
Was wollt ich, Liebster, dir nicht klagen
In diesen linden Lenzesnächten -- -- ?
Doch hat in meinem Rosengärtchen
Zu laut die Nachtigall geschlagen!

Wie warst du bleich, da ich erröthet,
Wie hast du mir die Furcht getödtet
Mit deinen flammenheissen Küssen!
-- Es hat in meinem Rosengärtchen
Zu süss die Nachtigall geflötet!
