Daß [du stehst]1 in Liebesglut, [Ines]2, laßt sich leicht gewahren; Denn die Wangen offenbaren, Was geheim im Herzen ruht. Stets an Seufzern sich zu weiden, Stets zu weinen statt zu singen, Wach die Nächte hinzubringen Und den süßen Schlaf zu meiden: Das sind Zeichen jener Glut, Die dein Antlitz läßt gewahren; [Denn]3 die Wangen offenbaren, Was geheim im Herzen ruht. Daß [du stehst]1 in Liebesglut, [Ines]2, laßt sich leicht gewahren; Denn die Wangen offenbaren, Was geheim im Herzen ruht. Liebe, Geld und Kummer halt' ich Für am schwersten zu verhehlen; Denn auch bei den strengsten Seelen Drängen sie sich vor gewaltig. Jener unruhvolle Mut Läßt zu deutlich sie gewahren, Und die Wangen offenbaren, Was geheim im Herzen ruht.

That [you]1 stand ablaze with love, [Ines]2, it is easy to discern; For your cheeks reveal What resides secretly within your heart. Always to wallow in sighs, Always to weep instead of singing, To spend the nights lying awake And to eschew sweet sleep: Those are the signs of that blazing That your face lets us discern; For your cheeks reveal What resides secretly within your heart. That [you]1 stand ablaze with love, [Ines]2, it is easy to discern; For your cheeks reveal What resides secretly within your heart. I consider [thoughts of] love, money and sorrow To be the most difficult to conceal; For even among souls that are the sternest with themselves These burst forth mightily. That tumultuous mood Lets them be discerned only too well, And your cheeks reveal What resides secretly within your heart.
2 Schumann: "Clever ones"
3 Schumann: "And"
