Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE GRE GRE HEB

Ich wollt, meine Schmerzen ergössen
Sich all in ein einziges Wort,
Das gäb ich den lustigen Winden,
Die trügen es lustig fort.

Sie tragen zu dir, Geliebte,
Das schmerzerfüllte Wort;
Du hörst es zu jeder Stunde,
Du hörst es an jedem Ort.

Und hast du zum nächtlichen Schlummer
Geschlossen die Augen kaum,
So wird dich mein Wort verfolgen
Bis in den tiefsten Traum.

Our translations: ENG FRE

Хотел бы в единое слово
Я слить мою грусть и печаль,
И бросить то слово на ветер,
Чтоб ветер унёс его вдаль.

И пусть-бы то слово печали
По ветру к тебе донеслось,
И пусть-бы всегда и повсюду
Оно к тебе в сердце лилось.

И если б усталые очи
Сомкнулись под грëзой ночной,
О, пусть-бы то слово печали
Звучало во сне над тобой!
