Galatea

Brettl Lieder Brettl Songs

Oh, how I burn with longing,
My child Galatea,
To kiss your darling cheeks –
They are so enticing, my dear.

Oh, the joy that I’d experience,
My child Galatea,
If I kissed your hair -
It is so alluring, my dear.

Don’t prevent me,as I live,
My child Galatea,
From kissing your two hands –
They are so alluring, my dear.

Ah, my unimaginable yearning,
My child Galatea,
To be kissing both your knees -
They are so alluring, my dear.

And what would I not do, my sweet,
My child Galatea,
To kiss your lovely feet -
They are so alluring, my dear.

But never, my dear girl,
Reveal your mouth unto my kisses,
For the fullness of its charms
To kiss is fancy’s aegis.
