English Singing Translation of:

Johannes Brahms: Lieber Gott, Opus 103, No. 4 (SMB #107)

(Dear God; text by Conrat, from the Hungarian)

Oh! Dear God you know how oft' I do regret that my lovely sweetheart one small kiss did get. My poor heart led me to act as this. I shall ne'er forget about that first small kiss. Oh! Dear got you know how in the silent night I remember her [him] with pleasure and with fright. Love is sweet, regret a bitter brew. Still my heart remains as always true.
