Wie oft schon ward es Frühling wieder

Wie oft schon ward es Frühling wieder
Für die erstorbne öde Welt!
Wie oft schon schollen frohe Lieder
Ihm überall durch Wald und Feld!

Wie oft schon ward es Frühling wieder!
Doch Frühling ward es nicht für mich:
Es schweigen meines Herzens Lieder,
Denn Frühling wird es nur durch dich.

Combien de fois le printemps est‑il...

Combien de fois le printemps est-il revenu
Pour le monde mort et désolé !
Combien de fois ont retenti des chants joyeux
Partout dans les bois et les champs !

Combien de fois le printemps est-il revenu !
mais aucun printemps n'est venu pour moi :
Les chants de mon cœur font silence,
Car le printemps peut seulement venir de toi.
