I love you with all my heart?
And I hope we'll never part.
Oh, please stay with me, Diana!

Tell me that there is no other.
I love you with all my heart

Only you can take my heart;
Only you can tear it apart.
When you hold me in your loving arms,
I can feel you giving all your charms².
Hold me, darling, hold me tight!
Squeeze³ me, baby, with all your might.
Oh, please stay by me, Diana!
Oh, please, Diana! Oh, please, Diana!
Oh, please, Diana!
