I love this feeling,
I love this feeling,
A sweet madness has seized my mind!
It is boiling,
It is boiling,
A fever of love is burning hot!
Often, his name
I say and smile,
when I am with him,
I float in midair!
Wonder why, wonder why,
could this be love?
Wonder why, wonder why,
could this be love?
I love this feeling,
I love this feeling,
A sweet madness has seized my mind!
It is boiling,
It is boiling,
A fever of love is burning hot!
Touching me again and again,
with playful affection,
you sweetly troubled me with joy.
Standing from afar,
like a missile,
you tossed flowers so gently.
Even as our eyes met,
you stole me away.
Male: Even while you were talking,
why did you go silent?
Wonder why, wonder why,
could this be love?
Wonder why, wonder why,
could this be love?
I love this feeling,
I love this feeling,
A sweet madness has seized my mind!
It is boiling,
It is boiling,
A fever of love is burning hot!
It does something to me,
it pinches somewhere inside,
it pushes me forward—this is it!
My words get stuck,
my breath stops,
longing entrances me—that is it!
This is a wondrous fire,
and I have not burned out at all.
Male: Dreams visit me every day,
yet I haven't slept at all.
Wonder why, wonder why,
could this be love?
Wonder why, wonder why,
could this be love?
I love this feeling,
I love this feeling,
A sweet madness has seized my mind!
It is boiling,
It is boiling,
A fever of love is burning hot!
Often, her name
I say and smile,
when I am with her,
I float in midair!
