Wenn ich in deine Augen seh (When I look into your eyes)
This is the second song in Robert Schumann's song cycle Dichterliebe, composed in (1840). The text is taken from Heinrich Heine's: Lyrisches Intermezzo.

[edit] German Text

Wenn ich in deine Augen seh'
So schwindet all' mein Leid und Weh;
Doch wenn ich küsse deinen Mund,
So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund

Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust,
Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust;
Doch wenn du spricht: Ich liebe dich,
So muss ich weinen bitterlich.

[edit] Translation

When I look into your eyes
all my sorrow and pain dissapear;
but when I kiss your mouth,
then I become wholly well.

When I lie upon your breast
a heavenly happiness comes over me;
but when you say: I love you!
then I must weep bitterly.
