Wenn du es wüßtest, Was bangen heißt in einsamen Nächten, Umschauert vom Sturm, da niemand tröstet Milden Mundes die kampfmüde Seele, Wenn du es wüßtest, Du kämest zu mir. Wenn du es wüßtest, Was leben heißt, umhaucht von der Gottheit Weltschaffendem Atem, Zu schweben empor, lichtgetragen, Zu seligen Höhen, Wenn du es wüßtest, Du lebtest mit mir! ---------- If you only knew What it means to dream of burning kisses, Of wandering and resting with your beloved one, Eyes in eyes, Caressing and chatting, If you only knew, You would soften your heart. If you only knew, What it means to anguish in the lonely night, Assaulted by a storm when no one is near To comfort the spirit, tired of battle. If you only knew, You would come to me. If you only knew, What it means to live in the middle of the divine, world-creating breath, What it means to float above, taken by the light, To the heights of the soul. If you knew it, If you only knew it, You would live with me.
