Die schöne Müllerin D. 795: VI. Der Neugierige

I wouldn't ask the rainbow

I wouldn't ask a star

I'm certain that neither could tell me

The way things truly are

A rainbow's an illusion

A star's too far above

So trusty mill stream, tell me

If she returns my love

My dear, my sweet companion

You're strangely quiet today

I know you know the answer

Are you afraid to say?

Are you afraid to say?

'No'. That may be the answer

It's either that or 'yes'

So come what may, one word will define my happiness

Yes come what may, one word will define my happiness

My dear, my sweet companion

How churlish you can be

I know you know the answer

Is she in love with me?

Is she in love with me?
