by Johannes Wendel

Return to the original list

1. Ihr Bild  [sung text not yet checked]
by Johannes Wendel , "Ihr Bild", op. 4 (Vier Lieder) no. 3
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich stand in [dunkeln]1 Träumen
Und [starrte]2 ihr Bildniß an,
Und das geliebte Antlitz
Heimlich zu leben begann.
 
Um ihre Lippen zog sich
Ein Lächeln wunderbar,
Und wie von Wehmuthsthränen
[Erglänzte]3 [ihr]4 Augenpaar.
 
Auch meine Thränen flossen
Mir von [den Wangen]5 herab -- 
Und ach, ich [kann es]6 nicht glauben,
Daß ich Dich verloren hab'!

1. Η εικόνα της
Language: Greek (Ελληνικά) 
Βρέθηκα σε σκοτεινά όνειρα
Και ατένισα την εικόνα της, 
Και το αγαπημένο πρόσωπο
Κρυφά άρχισε να ζωντανεύει. 

Στα χείλη της εμφανίστηκε
Ένα χαμόγελο υπέροχο, 
Και σαν από δάκρυα μελαγχολίας
Έλαμψαν τα δύο της μάτια. 

Και κύλησαν και τα δάκρυά μου
Πάνω στα μάγουλά μου -
Και αχ, δεν μπορώ να το πιστέψω, 
Πως σε έχω χάσει!
