Als wir hinter dem beblümten tore
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE ITA
Als wir hinter dem beblümten tore
Endlich nur das eigne hauchen spürten
Warden uns erdachte seligkeiten?
Ich erinnere dass wie schwache rohre
Beide stumm zu beben wir begannen
Wenn wir leis nur an uns rührten
Und dass unsre augen rannen –
So verbliebest du mir lang zu seiten.

Comme nous entrions par la porte fleurie
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Comme nous entrions par la porte fleurie
Finalement seulement notre souffle fut ressenti,
Viendras-tu concevoir notre félicité ?
Je me souviens que comme de faibles roseaux
Tous les deux en silence nous commencions à trembler
Quand seulement à peine nous nous frôlions
Et que nos yeux pleuraient -
Alors tu restais longtemps à mon côté.
