Junge Lieder II

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Wenn um den Holunder der Abendwind kost
Und der Falter um den Jasminenstrauch,
Dann kos' ich mit meinem Liebchen auch
Auf der Steinbank schattig und weich bemoost.

Und wenn vom Dorfe die Glocke erschallt
Und der Lerche jubelndes Abendgebet,
Dann schweigen wir auch, und die Seele zergeht
Vor der Liebe heiliger Gottesgewalt.

Und blickt dann vom Himmel der Sterne Schar
Und das Glühwürmchen in der Lilie Schoß,
Dann lasse ich sie aus den Armen los
Und küsse ihr scheidend das Augenpaar.

Als om de vlierheester de avondwind...

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

Als om de vlierheester de avondwind stoeit
En de vlinder vliegt om de bos jasmijn,
Dan stoei ik ook met mijn liefje fijn
Op de rotsbank, schaduwrijk, mosbegroeid.
 
En als van ‘t dorp uit het klokje zich meldt
En de leeuw’rik jubelt zijn avondgebed,
Dan zwijgen wij ook, en de ziel is verplet
Door de liefde, ‘t heilige, godd’lijk geweld.
 
En kijkt dan van de¹ hemel de sterrenschaar
En het glimwormpje in de leliebos,
Dan laat ik haar zacht uit mijn armen los
En kus haar ten afscheid haar ogenpaar.
