The Magic Flute, Act I: Such loveliness beyond compare

Such loveliness beyond compare

I've never seen a face so fair

It fills me, it fills me

With such happiness

My heart beats faster in my breast

My heart beats faster in my breast

In vain I fight with this desire

This pain, this unfamiliar fire

What is this fire consuming me?

What is this fire consuming me?

I know, I feel the pain of love

I know it, I know it

I know it, it is love

Oh if only she were near me

If I could speak so she could hear me

I'd tell her, tell her

What I feel

I'd say to her

I would not speak

I'd simply hold her

And in these loving arms enfold her

And she'd be mine forevermore

And she'd be mine forevermore

And she'd be mine forevermore

She'd be mine forevermore

She'd be mine forevermore
