Seitdem dein Aug' in meines schaute
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE HEB ITA
Seitdem dein Aug' in meines schaute,
Und Liebe, wie vom Himmel her,
Aus ihm auf mich herniedertaute,
Was böte mir die Erde mehr?
Ihr Bestes hat sie mir gegeben,
Und von des Herzens stillem Glück
Ward übervoll mein ganzes Leben
Durch jenen einen Augenblick.

From the time your eyes gazed into mine
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
From the time your eyes gazed into mine,
And Love, as if from heaven,
Fell from them upon me like dew,
What more could the world offer me?
It has given me its best,
And the silent happiness of my heart
Flooded my entire life
In that one instant.
