In weite Fernen will ich träumen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA

In weite Fernen will ich träumen,
Da, wo Du weilst!
Wo aus den schneeig hellen Räumen
Die Bäche in die Seen schäumen!
Da, wo Du weilst!

Will mit Dir durch die Berge streifen,
Da, wo Du weilst. 
Wo auf dem Eisfeld Gemsen schweifen, 
Im warmen Tale Feigen reifen!
Da, wo Du weilst! 

Und heimlich will ich weiter lieben,
Wenn Du heimkehrst! 
Es soll die Zeit mich nicht betrüben,
Wir sind dieselben noch geblieben!
Wenn Du heimkehrst!

Naar verre verten wil ik dromen

NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Naar verre verten wil ik dromen,
Daar waar jij woont!
Waar uit besneeuwde lichte zomen
De beken naar de meren stromen!
Daar waar jij woont!
 
Met jou wil ‘k van de bergen dalen,
Daar waar jij woont!
Waar op het ijsveld gemzen dwalen
En vijgen rijpen in de dalen,
Daar waar jij woont!
 
En heim’lijk wil ik voor je leven
Als jij thuis komt!
De tijd mag mij geen droefheid geven,
Wij zijn dezelfden nog gebleven!
Als jij thuis komt!
