Liebesqual verschmäht mein Herz
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE ITA
Liebesqual verschmäht mein Herz,
Sanften Jammer, süßen Schmerz;
Nur vom Tücht'gen will ich wissen,
Heißem [Äuglen]1, derben Küssen.
Sei ein armer Hund erfrischt
Von der Lust, mit Pein gemischt!
Mädchen, gib der frischen Brust
Nichts von Pein und alle Lust.

My heart despises love's agony
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
My heart despises love's agony,
meek misery, sweet sorrow;
I want only to know about bravery,
burning glances, earthy kisses.
Let poor dogs refresh themselves
with mixing pleasure and pain!
Maiden, give my fresh heart
nothing of pain, but everything of pleasure!
