Sehnsucht

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Sterne der blauen
Himmlischen Auen,
Grüßt mir das Mädchen,
Das ich geliebt!

Weit in die Ferne
Möcht' ich so gerne
Wo das geliebte
Mädchen mir weilt.

Schweigende Sterne,
Grüßt mir die Ferne,
Grüßt mir das Mädchen,
Das ich geliebt!

Sterne der blauen
Himmlischen Auen,
Treuliche Winde,
Küßt sie von mir!

Stumme Vertraute
Küßt mir die Braut
Bringt ihr auch Tränen,
Tränen von mir.

Ach, ich muß weinen,
Tränen der Einen,
Tränen der Sehnsucht,
Teuere, dir.

Add this translation to the Basket

Étoiles, qui dans les prairies
Bleues du ciel,
Accueillez pour moi la jeune fille
Que j'ai aimée !

Tout au loin,
Je voudrais bien aller
Où ma bien-aimée
Jeune fille demeure.

Étoiles silencieuses,
Saluez pour moi le lointain,
Saluez pour moi la jeune fille
Que j'ai aimée !

Étoiles, qui dans les prairies
Bleues du ciel,
Vents fidèles,
Embrassez-la pour moi !

Familiers silencieux,
Embrassez pour moi la fiancée,
Apportez-lui aussi des larmes
Des larmes de moi.

Ah ! je dois pleurer
Des larmes pour l'unique,
Des larmes de nostalgie,
Pour toi, ma chère !
