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.
