"Yours is my heart!" tenor aria from Franz Lehar's operetta The Land of Smiles (The Land of Smiles). This aria was written for Richard Tauber.
| is your all my heart! | My whole heart is yours! |
| Unless you are, I can not be. | Where you are not, I can not be. |
| Just as the flower fades, | Just as the flower withers |
| if they do not kiss the sunshine! | when the sunshine does not kiss it! |
| is your my best song, | My most beautiful song is yours, |
| because it blossomed out of love. | since it blossoms from love alone. |
| Tell me again, my one and only, | Tell me once more, my only love, |
| oh tell me once more: | oh, tell me once more: |
| I love you love! | I love you! |
| Wherever I go, | Wherever I go, |
| I feel your presence. | I feel your nearness. |
| I want to drink your breath | I would like to drink in your breath |
| and kneel adoringly at your feet, | and fall in prayer at your feet, |
| you, you alone ! How wonderful | yours, yours alone! How wonderful |
| is your shining hair! | is your shining hair! |
| Dreamy and full of longing | Fair as a dream and full of anxious longing |
| is your radiant look. | is your bright gaze. |
| I hear the voice sound | When I hear the sound of your voice, |
| it is like music. | it is just like music. |
| is your all my heart! (Etc.) | My whole heart is yours! (Etc.) |
