Phoebus |
Mit Verlangen |
With longing |
Drück ich deine zarten Wangen, |
I press your tender cheeks [to mine], |
Holder, schöner Hyazinth. |
Graceful, beautiful Hyacinth. |
Und dein Augen küss ich gerne, |
And I gladly kiss your eyes, |
Weil sie meine Morgensterne |
Because they are my morning stars |
Und der Seelen Sonne sind. |
And the sun of my soul. |
