Laß tief in dir mich lesen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Laß tief in dir mich lesen, Verhehl' auch dies mir nicht, Was für ein Zauberwesen Aus deiner Stimme spricht! So viele Worte dringen [Ans]1 Ohr uns ohne Plan, Und während sie verklingen, Ist alles abgetan! Doch [drängt]2 auch nur von ferne Dein Ton zu mir sich her, [Behorch']3 ich ihn so gerne, Vergess' ich ihn so schwer. Ich bebe dann, [entglimme]4 Von allzu rascher Glut: Mein Herz und deine Stimme Verstehn sich gar zu gut!

Let me read deep within you
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Let me read deep within you - Do not conceal this from me either - What kind of a magical spirit Speaks through your voice. So many words assail Our ears without design And when they have died away, Nothing remains! But if even from a distance The sound of your voice finds its way to me, I listen to it so gladly, I find it so difficult to forget. I tremble then, come alight With all too rapid ardour; My heart and your voice Understand each other too well!
