Ich sah dich gern im Sonneschein, Wenn laut die Vöglein sangen, Wenn durch die Wangen und Lippen dein Rosig die Strahlen drangen. Ich sah dich auch gern im Mondenlicht Beim Dufte der Jasminen, Wenn mir dein freundlich Angesicht So silberbleich erschienen. Doch, Mädchen, gern hätt' ich dich auch, Wenn ich dich gar nicht sähe Und fühlte nur deines Mundes Hauch In himmlisch warmer Nähe.

I saw you in the sunlight, When loud the birds did sing, When your cheeks and lips Blushed with the color of rose. I saw you in the moonlight, With the scent of the jasmine, When your friendly face Shown in the light of silver-gray. But, my girl, I have seen you, When I almost could not see But only felt the skin of your lips So near with heavenly warmth.
