Ich liebe dich by Ludwig van Beethoven — Lyrics
Ich liebe dich, so wie du mich,
Am Abend und am Morgen,
Noch war kein Tag, wo du und ich
Nicht teilten unsre Sorgen.
Auch waren sie für dich und mich
Geteilt leicht zu ertragen;

About Ich liebe dich
This German Lied captures a profound and enduring love. The words express a deep bond between two people who share life's joys and sorrows, finding solace and strength in each other's company. The text speaks of mutual comfort during difficult times and the blessing of a shared existence, culminating in a heartfelt prayer for divine protection over their union. Beethoven sets these tender sentiments for solo alto and baritone, with a TTB choir providing a rich harmonic foundation, creating an intimate yet powerful expression of devotion.
