Lyrics and translation
Original
You sigh that I should try your love, I'll never be alone.
That you are true, you coo, my dove, but I don't like your tone.
You purr, you murmur further, just a child, but now you're grown.
You hiss that this is bliss, not lust, but I don't like your tone.
What's with all this purring? Are you a cat?
Why are we whispering? Love's not like that.
When near, my dear, how clear you make your so-called feelings known.
It's queer, my dear, I fear heartbreak, but I don't like your tone.
