O how eagerly, o how ardently
My lovesick heart is beating!
But the glad tears of our reunion

Will erase the anxious pain of separation.

I already tremble and waver,

Quake and falter;
My breast swells to bursting!


Is that her whisper?
I'm all on fire.
Was that her sigh?

My cheeks are aglow.
Does love deceive me?
Was it a dream?
