He sat there, beautiful from toe to forehead!
Golden hair and eyes of tropical sea,
And last summer's tan, and rosa lips
And crystal voice, and guitar, and magic fingers!

Me, lying still, hypnotized in worship,
Drinking in every note of melody,
Feeling every inch of loveliness flowing through my blood,
O me, o mein, what a breathless beauty!

Du bist so schon, schon wie der Frhling!
Ich fuhle mich wohl nur Dich an zu schauen
So ein wie du, ich kent oft nicht
Ich will die Zeit hier oh... stehen bleiben. ***

But I think I will have to flee
Before night falls and my heart weakens with fever!
For such a rare precious stone I shouldn't and can't possess:
It must be in the sunlight, and shine through the whole world!

*** Tanslation from German:
You are so beautiful, beautiful like the spring!
Just looking at you makes me feel so elated.
I have never known such a refined one as you.
Oh how I wish that time would stop.
