EN Translation (Sharon Krebs):
My entire heart is yours!
Where you are absent, I cannot exist,
Just as the flower wilts
When the sunshine does not kiss it!
My most beautiful song belongs to you,
Because it only bloomed forth from love.
Say to me again, my only love,
Oh say to me once again:
I love you!
Wherever I may go,
I feel your presence.
I would like to drink your breath
and sink pleadingly at your feet,
You, you alone! How wonderful
is your shining hair!
Beautiful as a dream and anxious with longing
is your shining gaze.
When I hear the sounds of [your] voice,
it is like music.
My entire heart is yours!
Where you are absent, I cannot exist,
Just as the flower wilts
When the sunshine does not kiss it!
My most beautiful song belongs to you,
Because it only bloomed forth from love.
Say to me again, my only love,
Oh say to me once again:
I love you!

Hi MikeZFan. You sang this piece spot on. I Enjoyed it...Only thing is I could not no want the words are. Sometime if possible can you add English subtitles. As it would appeal to a much larger audience. Just a thought though. Cheers.

Hi Phillip! Thanks for dropping by and for your lovely words.😊 Absolutely, I’m always about increased accessibility in classical music but it’s not always in my budget or schedule to add subtitles to all my videos (takes time and money)! In the meantime here’s an English translation for this aria 🎶 Enjoy!

The song was written in German why should it be translated?

[@MikeZFan]

@@magador1 I believe Philip's just referring to English subtitles for those that don't know German. 🙂
