If Music Be the Food of Love

Henry Purcell (music),  Henry Heveningham (words)


‎

 
Ancient English

If musick be the food of love,
Sing on till I am fill'd with joy;
For then my list'ning soul you move
To pleasures that can never cloy:
Your eyes, your mien, your tongue declare,
That you are musick every where.

Pleasures invade both eye and ear;
So fierce the transports are, they wound;
And all my senses feasted are,
Tho' yet the treat is only sound:
Sure I must perish by your charms;
Unless you save me in your arms.

As printed in A Collection of Songs, 1727[3]
 

Wenn Musik der Liebe Nahrung ist,
Sing weiter, bis ich mit Freude erfüllt bin;
Denn dann rührst du meine lauschende Seele
Zu nie versiegenden Genüssen:
Deine Augen, dein Mienenspiel, deine Zunge verkünden,
Dass du überall Musik bist.

Genüsse dringen in Aug und Ohr;
So heftig sind die Empfindungen, dass sie verwunden;
Und alle meine Sinne sind ergötzt,
Und doch ist der Genuss nur Schall:
Sicher muss ich durch deine Reize sterben;
Rettest du mich nicht in deinen Armen.[4]
