Zwei Lieder

Song Cycle by Maude Valérie White (1855 - 1937)

1. Ein Jüngling liebt ein Mädchen
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein Jüngling liebt ein Mädchen,
Die hat einen andern erwählt;
Der andre liebt eine andre,
Und hat sich mit dieser vermählt.

Das Mädchen heiratet aus Ärger
Den ersten besten Mann,
Der ihr in den Weg gelaufen;
Der Jüngling ist übel dran.

Es ist eine alte Geschichte,
Doch bleibt sie immer neu;
Und wem sie just passieret,
Dem bricht das Herz entzwei.

1. A youth once lov'd a maiden
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
A youth once lov'd a maiden,
But she cast his love aside.
Alas, her heart was given
To one who was wooing another bride.

The maiden in grief and anger
And smarting beneath the blow
Accepted another suitor
Heav'n help her lover now!

It is an old, old story,
And yet alas! how new.
May God console each tender heart
That sorrow breaks in two.

2. Aus meinen Tränen sprießen
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Aus meinen Tränen sprießen
Viel blühende Blumen hervor,
Und meine Seufzer werden
Ein Nachtigallenchor.

Und wenn du mich lieb hast, Kindchen,
Schenk' ich dir die Blumen all',
Und vor deinem Fenster soll klingen
Das Lied der Nachtigall.

2. The tears that night and morning
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
The tears that night and morning dim
These aching eyes of mine
Love turns to bright and blooming flow'rs
And melodies divine.

And if thou lov'st me, sweet one,
Accept them all from me,
And nightingales shall sweetly sing
The love I bear to thee.
