You beamed brighter than the sun

Mendelssohn, Felix

You beamed brighter than the sun,

both of you darling eyes!

With you is joy and bliss,

You gentle young maiden.

You are the light in my eyes!

If I were alone with you,

no sorrow could trouble me,

and I would be forever happy!

Your charm is beyond measure

just as that of the flower.

When you walk down the street,

I often wait for you,

no matter how long I must stand,

in rain, storm or snow;

no trouble could irritate me,

if I could only see you, my sweetheart.
