Wie ein Rausch ist deine Liebe, Deine Küsse wie der Wein - Trank ich mich an deinen Lippen Selig satt, so schlaf ich ein. Und dein Arm ist meine Wiege, Heimlich singst du mir ein Lied, Daß ein Glanz von Glück und Liebe Noch durch meine Träume zieht.

Comme une ivresse est ton amour, Tes baisers sont comme le vin -- À tes lèvres j'ai bu À satiété le bonheur, j'ai si sommeil. Et ton bras est mon berceau, En secret tu me chantes un chant, Qu'un éclat de bonheur et d'amour Entraîne mes rêves.
