English Translation
He seems to me as lucky as the gods That man who sits opposite you, And close to you, hears your sweet words. And your lovely laugh, which Has passionately excited the heart in my breast. For whenever I look at you, even for a moment, No voice comes to me, But my tongue is frozen, and a delicate fire at once flickers under my skin. I no longer see anything with my eyes And my ears hum. A cold sweat covers me and trembling Seizes me all over. I am paler than grass And I seem to be little short of Dying.
