Wenn dein ich denk', dann sinn' ich oft
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wenn dein ich denk', dann sinn' ich oft in träumerischem Gang: weiß nicht, was ich von dir gehofft, weiß nicht, warum mir bang. Weiß eines nur, seitdem ich schied, von deinem Reiz bezwungen: du hast mit deinem Zauberlied dich in mein Herz gesungen. Und immerdar erklingt nun leis', die Seele mir berückend, geheimnißvoll die holde Weis', erinn'rungsvoll beglückend. Denn seit dem Tag, an dem ich schied, von ew'ger Lieb' bezwungen: Hör' ich, ach, nur dein Zauberlied tief in mein Herz gesungen.

I think of thee where e'er I go
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
I think of thee where e'er I go, In dreams art ever near: Yet know not why it should be so, Know not why I should fear. I only know, that since I left And since thy spell hath bound me: Thou with thy magic voice hast weft Thy wondrous charm around me. And even now it comes again The soul with rapture filling, The sweet and soft melodious strain With dear remembrance thrilling. For since the day when thee I left And love’s sweet glow then bound me: Hear but thy magic voice that weft Its wondrous charm around me.
