Voller, dichter tropft um's Dach da[,]
Tropfen süßer Regengüsse;
Meines Liebchens holde Küsse,
Mehren sich, je mehr ihr tropfet!
Tropft ihr, -- darf ich sie umfassen,
Laßt ihr's, -- will sie mich entlassen,
Himmel, werde nur nicht lichter,
Tropfen, tropfet immer dichter!

During the rain
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Drip more fully, more heavily on that roof there,
You drops of sweet rainshowers!
My darling's tender kisses
Increase the more you drip!
As you drip, I am permitted to embrace her;
If you stop, she'll leave me.
Sky, do not become lighter,
Drops, drip even more heavily!
