1. Wenn ich in deine Augen seh' [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Wenn ich in deine Augen [seh']¹,
So schwindet [all' mein Leid]² und Weh; 
Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund,
So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund.

Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust,
Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust;
Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich!
[So]³ muß ich weinen bitterlich.

2. Lehn deine Wang' an meine Wang' [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Lehn deine Wang' an meine Wang',
Dann fliessen die Tränen zusammen;
Und an mein Herz drück fest dein Herz,
Dann schlagen zusammen die Flammen!

Und wenn in die große Flamme fliesst
Der Strom von [unsern]¹ Tränen,
Und wenn [dich mein Arm]² gewaltig umschließt -
Sterb' ich vor Liebessehnen!
