In meinem Garten die Nelken

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE IRI POR

In meinem Garten die Nelken
mit ihrem Purpurstern
müssen nun alle verwelken,
   denn du bist fern.

Auf meinem Herde die Flammen
die ich bewacht so gern,
sanken in Asche zusammen,
   denn du bist fern.

Die Welt ist mir verdorben,
mich grüßt nicht Blume nicht Stern,
mein Herz ist lange gestorben,
   denn du bist fern.

Die anjers hier met hun kelken

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

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

Die anjers hier met hun kelken
En met hun purp'ren ster
Zullen nu alle verwelken,
Want jij bent ver.
 
En in mijn vuurhaard de vonken
- Zo dikwijls zat ik er -
Zijn nu tot as al verzonken,
Want jij bent ver.
 
Voor mij is 't ál bedorven,
Mij groet geen bloempje, geen ster,
Mijn hart is lang al gestorven,
Want jij bent ver.
