Your eyes are sapphires
Louise Pauline Marie Héritte-Viardot
Your eyes are sapphires,
so lovely, so sweet.
Oh, lucky three times over is the man
whom they greet with love.
Your heart is a diamond
that radiates noble light.
Oh, lucky three times over is the man
for whom it lovingly glows.
Your lips are rubies -
one can not see anything finer.
Oh lucky three times over is the man,
to whom they avow love.
Oh, if only I knew this lucky man,
ah, if only I could find him -
one moment alone with him in the green wood
and his luck would soon be at an end.
