TRANSLATION:
Wait one moment! I simply must speak to you!
I love you, love you beyond all measure,
I cannot think of living a day without you,
For you I am even now ready to accomplish
a matchless heroic task .
But you should know, that I do not want
in any way to restrict the liberty of your heart.
I am ready to hide my feelings in order to please you
and subdue the ardent jealousy,
Anything, anything I would do for you.
I would not only be a loving husband,
but sometimes a useful servant.
I would like to always be your friend and consoler.
But I now I clearly see and feel, how I have let my dreams to mislead me.
How little trust you have in me, how much of a stranger and an intruder I am for you.
Ah, this estrangement torments me.
My soul deeply feels everything you feel.
I am sad with your sadness and cry with your tear.
Ah, this estrangement torments me.
My soul deeply deeply feels everything you feel.
I love you, love you beyond all measure,
I cannot think of living a day without you,
For you I am even now ready to accomplish
a matchless heroic task.
Oh, my dear, confide in me!
