by Mirzə Şəfi Vazeh (1794 - 1852)

Einst hielt ich Dich umwunden
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Azerbaijani (Azərbaycan dili) 
Our translations:  ENG
Einst hielt ich Dich umwunden
Mit jugendstarkem Arm:
Die Jugend ist [verschwunden]1,
Doch schlägt mein Herz noch warm.

In meinem Lebensringe
Bist Du der Edelstein,
Und alles was ich singe,
Sing ich nur Dir allein!
