Do not go, my love [German translation]

Do not go, my love, without asking my leave.

I have watched all night,

and now my eyes are heavy with sleep;

I fear lest I lose you when I am sleeping.

Do not go, my love, without asking my leave.

I start up and stretch my hands to touch you.

I ask myself, „Is it a dream?“

Could I but entangle your feet with my heart,

And hold them fast to my breast!

Do not go, my love, without asking my leave.

• Artist:Rabindranath Tagore
