A kdybys písní stvořená

Language: Czech (Čeština)

Our translations: ENG GER

A kdybys písní stvořená,
tak věčně bych Tě zpíval,
a hvězdou-li,
tak na nebe po celý věk se díval,
a palmou-li kdes v oase,
v tvém stínu chtěl bych sníti,
a kdybys byla chudobkou,
chtěl bych tvou slzou býti.

Und hättest Lieder du geschrieben

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Czech (Čeština)

Und hättest Lieder du geschrieben,
ich würde alle für dich singen,
würd’st du als Stern am Himmel stehen,
mein Blick würd’ stets nach oben dringen.
Wärst Palme du in der Oase,
würd deinen Schatten ich ersehnen,
wärst Augentrost du auf den Wiesen,
gern wäre ich dann deine Träne.
