Benedeit die selge Mutter
Blessed the most happy Mother

Italienisches Liederbuch

Geibel etc

Bless the most happy mother
Who with so much love bore you,
More beautiful than any other,
My heart aches to be with you.

You, whose every movement gives such pleasure,
You, the sweetest girl on earth,
You, who brings such joy, my treasure.
Oh, my dearest, blessed at birth.

When I sit and, from afar
Recall how beautiful you are,
Such confusion overtakes me –
I shake uncontrollably.

Searing flames flare in my breast,
There is no peace for me, no rest,
Madness! Oh, I am obsessed!

Oh, bless that most happy mother
Who with so much love bore you …..
