Ich bin so allein

[Ich bin so allein]1
Fänd ich den Schatten
Eines süßen Herzens.

-- Oder mir jemand
Einen Stern schenkte --

Immer fingen ihn
Die Engel auf
So hin und her.

Ich fürchte mich
Vor der schwarzen Erde.
Wie soll ich fort?

Möchte in den Wolken
Begraben sein,
Überall wo Sonne wächst,

Liebe dich so!
Du mich ach?
Sag es doch -- -- --

Si je trouvais l'ombre

Si je trouvais l'ombre 
d'un cœur tendre,

Ou si quelqu'un m'offrait 
une étoile,

L'ange toujours 
l'attraperait 
ici et là.

J'ai peur 
de la noire terre.
Comment continuer?

Je voudrais être 
enterrée dans les nuages,
Partout où croît le soleil.

Je t'aime tant ! 
Toi aussi ?
Dis-le encore.
