German text

Ihr schwarzen Augen, ihr dürft nur winken;

Paläste fallen und Städte sinken.

Wie sollte steh'n in solchem Strauß

mein Herz, von Karten das schwache Haus?

German text by Georg Friedrich Daumer (1800-1875)

Based on a text in Turkish by Anonymous/Unidentified Artist [text unavailable]

English translation

You black eyes, you need only beckon,

and palaces fall and cities sink.

How should then my heart withstand

such strife, inside its weak house of cards?
