Ihr, die ihr geht an mir vorbei
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ihr, die ihr geht an mir vorbei
So furchtsam und bescheiden,
Ihr wisset nicht, was Leiden
Und wisset nicht, was Liebe sei.
Und auch den Garten kennt ihr nicht,
Den schwülen Träumegarten,
Wo Rosen sterbend warten,
Und jedes Scharlachblatt ist ein Gedicht.
Ihr geht vorbei und scheuet schier
Mich anzuschaun ein wenig,
Und doch bin ich ein König
Und hundertmal so stolz und reich als ihr!

Vous qui passez près de moi
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Vous qui passez près de moi
Si craintifs et si modestes,
Vous ne savez pas ce qu'est la souffrance,
Et ne savez pas ce qu'est l'amour.
Et vous ne connaissez pas non plus le jardin,
Le lourd jardin de rêves
Où des roses mourantes attendent,
Et où chaque feuille écarlate est un poème.
Vous passez près de moi et avez presque peur
De me regarder un peu,
Et pourtant je suis un roi,
Et cent fois plus fier et riche que vous !
