Can love be a sin?
May no-one know,
when one kisses,
when one forgets everything,
out of happiness?
Can it really be a sin,
when one only thinks of one person,
when one gives him everything,
out of happiness?
I will never regret
what I did,
and what happened through love,
that you must forgive me,
that's why love exists!
Love cannot be a sin,
but even if it were,
it wouldn't matter to me,
I'd rather sin
than be without love!
Every little prig makes
life a pain for me,
for he speaks only of morals.
And whatever he thinks or does,
one unfortunately sees,
that he is unable to see anyone happy.
If he says:
In my time
one didn't go on like that!
I ask quite modestly
with a smile on my face:
"Can love be a sin?
Must no-one know,
when one kisses,
when one forgets everything,
out of happiness?"
Can it really be a sin,
when one only thinks of one person,
when one gives him everything,
out of happiness?
I will never regret,
what I did,
and what happened through love,
that you must forgive me,
that's why love exists!
("Hello, my lady!
Look here!
Here's the sin!")
Love cannot be a sin,
but even if it were,
it wouldn't matter to me,
I'd rather sin
than be without love!
