Your eyes are sapphires
Reinhold Ludwig Herman
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.
