Dir auch wurde, Kleanorides, Sehnsucht...

Our translations: ENG FRE

Dir auch [wurde, Kleanorides, Sehnsucht]¹ nach der Heimat
Tödlich; dich schreckte der Süd nimmer, der winterlich stürmt.
So fing dich die betrügliche Jahrszeit ein, und strömend 
Spülten die Wogen den Reiz lieblicher Jugend [hinweg]².

Pour toi aussi le mal du pays devint fatal

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Pour toi aussi Kleanorides le mal du pays devint fatal ;
Les tempêtes hivernales du vent du sud jamais ne t'effrayaient.
La traîtresse saison se saisit ainsi de toi, et tumultueuses
Les vagues balayèrent l'attrait d'une charmante jeunesse.
