Lift up your blond head and do not sleep

Hugo Wolf

Lift up your blond head and do not sleep,

And do not let yourself be lured by slumber.

I will tell you four things of weight,

None of which must you miss.

The first: for you my heart is breaking,

The second: I want to belong only to you,

The third: that I entrust my salvation to you,

The last: my soul loves you alone.
