by Friedrich Konrad Müller von der Werra (1823 - 1881)

Die schwarzbraunen Augen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Mit deinen schwarzbraunen Augen
Hast du mir das Herze bewegt;
Ich weiß nicht, ist's Wehmuth, ist's Freude,
Was drinnen süßleise sich regt!

Für deine schwarzbraunen Augen
Gäb' Mancher die Güter wohl sein!
Doch läßt sich die Liebe nicht kaufen
Um Gold und Edelgestein!

Und deine schwarzbraunen Augen
Durchglühen gar wonnevoll mich,
Daß ewig im Liede ich werbe
Um dich, du Schöne, um dich!
