The sky is beaming, so bright and clear

Brahms, Johannes

The sky is beaming, so bright and clear;

even more brightly do your eyes beam at me.

You, my rose, gaze into my eyes,

so that I bless you in my happiness.

The little bird's song resounds with such loveliness,

yet my darling sings a much sweeter song.

You, my rose, gaze into my eyes,

so that I bless you in my happiness.

The sun kisses the entire world,

yet your rosy lips kiss me even more warmly.

You, my rose, gaze into my eyes,

so that I bless you in my happiness.
