O wär dein Haus durchsichtig wie ein Glas
Oh, if your house were transparent
Heyse
Oh, if your house were transparent like a glass one,
Whenever I crept by, my darling,
I’d always see you there inside!
How I’d look at you then with all my soul!
How many glances my heart would send you,
More than there are drops in the river Seine!
How many glances would I send you,
More than there are drops that fall in the rain!
Roses Und gestern hat er mir Rosen gebracht Thelka Lingen
Oh, yesterday he brought me roses,
The whole night was filled with their scent;
To encourage him who’s thinking of me,
I made him a gift of a whole night’s dream.
And today I go round smiling, wordless
And carry his roses around with me
And wait and listen, and if the door goes,
Then my heart quakes, oh, if only he’d come!
Oh, if only he’d come to me!
And I kiss the roses he brought me
And go search out the dream I had last night.....
