How Can I Tell ...

How can I tell if your voice is beautiful.
I only know, that it penetrates me
and makes me shake like a leaf
and tears me to shreds and splits me.

What do I know about your skin and limbs.
It makes me tremble that they  are yours,
so for me there is no sleep or rest,
till they are mine.

Translated into English by Jenny Nunn in "To a friend".
