"When I look into your eyes" by Heinrich Heine

A translation of a poem by Heine

When I look into your eyes,

away, all my sorrow flies.

And when your lips I might kiss,

my whole being is deep in bliss.

When I rest upon your breast,

I feel as if by Heaven blest.

And when you say: I love you!

I can’t help but cry as children do.
