Ich will meine Seele tauchen

Language: German

Ich will meine Seele tauchen
In den Kelch der Lilie hinein;
Die Lilie soll klingend hauchen
Ein Lied von der Liebsten mein.

Das Lied soll schauern und beben
Wie der Kuß von ihrem Mund,
Den sie mir einst gegeben
In wunderbar süßer Stund'.

Če mogel vzdihe bi srca utopiti

Language: Slovenian

Če mogel bi v lilije kelih 
Uto piti vzdihe srca,
Obljubljeni slavospevi
Bi vreli iz njega dna.

Tako bi vreli drhteči,
kot poljub drhtel je tvoj,
Ki pil sem z ustnic ljubečih
nekoč ga pobožno s teboj.
