Ächtes Lieben

Available translation(s): ENG
Ächtes Lieben
Ist Betrüben,
Thut so wohl und doch so weh;
Aechte Minne
Zieht die Sinne
Schmerzend sich nach über Land und See.--
Wollt der Schmerzen
Ihr, o Herzen,
Gerne los und ledig sein?
Werft das Lieben,
Das Betrüben
Frisch in die kühlige Fluth hinein!--
Ach, dies Leiden
Ist mein Weiden,
Nimmer, nimmer laß ich's los;
Fiel' sein Schwellen
In die Wellen,
Spräng' ich ihm nach in den Todesschooß.

Genuine loving
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Genuine loving
Means causing grief,
It gladdens so and yet is so painful;
Genuine courtly love
Draws the senses
Painfully after itself across land and sea.--
Would of the pain
You, oh hearts,
Gladly be rid of and unfettered?
Cast loving,
Grieving
Briskly into the cooling floodwaters!--
Ah, this suffering
Is my sustenance,
Never, never shall I let go of it;
If its swelling
Fell into the waves,
I should leap after it into the lap of death.
