by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Ja, du bist mein!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
    Ja, du bist mein!
Ich will's dem blauen Himmel sagen,
Ich will's der [dunkeln]1 Nacht vertrau'n,
Ich will's als frohe Botschaft tragen
Auf Bergeshöh'n, durch Heid' und Au'n.
Die ganze Welt soll Zeuge sein:
    Ja, du bist mein!
    Und ewig mein!

    Ja, du bist mein!
In meinem Herzen sollst du leben,
Sollst haben was sein Liebstes ist,
Du sollst von Lieb' und Lust umgeben
Ganz fühlen, daß du glücklich bist.
Schließ mich in deine Arme ein!
    Ja, du bist mein!
    Und ewig mein!
