Who is at my bedroom door?

Schumann, Robert

Who is at my bedroom door?

It's me!

Go, be off with you, what do you want here?

Really sweet!

You come in the dark like a thief.

So catch me!

Do you have a little love for me?

With all my heart!

And if I opened the door as you wish?

O open it!

That would be the end of sleep and peace!

Let them be!

Are you a dove in a dovecot?

With my little dove!

Will you coo until dawn?

Very possibly!

No, I will never let you in!

You must nonetheless!

Would you likely appear every day?

With pleasure!

How cheeky you are and how dare you!

So may I?

As long as you tell not a soul!

Of course not!
