Es rinnen die Wasser Tag und Nacht

Es rinnen die Wasser Tag und Nacht,
Deine Sehnsucht wacht.
Du gedenkest der vergangenen Zeit,
Die liegt so weit.
Du siehst hinaus in den Morgenschein
Und bist allein.
Es rinnen die Wasser Tag und Nacht,
Deine Sehnsucht wacht.

Désir

L'eau coule jour et nuit
Ton désir veille.
Tu te souviens du temps passé,
Qui est si loin.
Tu regardes dehors dans la lueur du matin
Et tu es seul.
L'eau coule jour et nuit
Ton désir veille.
