Oh, shatter not my heart so,
Release the child within's hold.
You are, blessed, in your youth's bloom,
Blessed, you are, in youth's bloom.
Oh, shatter not my heart so,
Release the child within's hold.
You are, blessed, in your youth's bloom,
Blessed, you are, in youth's bloom.
If, smiling, you open your arms wide,
Into them, I'd gladly flee.
If with your tongue, love's vow you confide,
Paradise, then, we'd both see.
Fair am I, young you are, then why this distance?
You are, blessed, in your youth's bloom,
Blessed, you are, in youth's bloom, oh!
Oh, shatter not my heart so,
Release the child within's hold.
You are, blessed, in your youth's bloom,
Blessed, you are, in youth's bloom.
To quell the heart's yearning, what gain?
The heart will only beat the more.
In youth, to hide love, all in vain,
The flame will leap and then soar.
By love's oath, I implore, by love,
Try love, and you shall know.
You are, blessed, in your youth's bloom,
Blessed, you are, in youth's bloom.
Oh, shatter not my heart so,
Release the child within's hold.
You are, blessed, in your youth's bloom,
Blessed, you are, in youth's bloom.
Blessed, you are, in youth's bloom,
Blessed, you are, in youth's bloom.
Blessed, you are, in youth's bloom.
