O holde Zeit, |
O lovely time, |
zur Lust bereit, |
ready for pleasure, |
ach, eile, |
ah, hurry; |
verweile |
delay |
nicht einen Augenblick! |
not a moment! |
Mein ganzes Herz |
My whole heart |
wünscht deinen Scherz, |
desires your play, |
wünscht sich dein Wohl |
desires your goodness; |
wirft sehnsuchtsvoll |
longingly casts |
nach dir den Blick. |
its gaze after you. |
