In meiner Nächte Sehnen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE
In meiner Nächte Sehnen,
So tief allein,
Mit tausend, tausend Tränen,
Gedenk' ich dein.
Ach, wer dein Antlitz schaute,
Wem dein Gemüt
Die schöne Glut vertraute,
Die es durchglüht,
Wem deine Küsse brannten,
Wem je vor Lust
All seine Sinne schwanden
An deiner Brust -
Wie rasteten in Frieden
Ihm Seel' und Leib,
Wenn er von dir geschieden,
Du göttlich Weib!

Dans la nostalgie de mes nuits
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Dans la nostalgie de mes nuits,
Si profondément seul,
Avec mille et mille larmes,
Je pense à toi.
Ah, celui que tes yeux regardaient,
À qui ton âme
Inspirait une belle passion
Qui l'embrasait,
Que tes baisers enflammaient
Qui un jour, de plaisir
A perdu la tête
Sur ta poitrine,
Comme son âme et son corps
Restèrent paisibles
Quand il s'est séparé de toi,
Toi, divine femme !
