Ich hatte dir ein Lied gespielt. Du schwiegest. Deine Rechte hielt Mit lassen Fingern eine große, Blutrote, reife Purpurrose. Und über uns mit fremder Pracht Stieg auf die milde Sommernacht, In wunderbarem Glanz erschlossen, Die erste Nacht, die wir genossen. Stieg auf und bog den dunklen Arm Um uns, und war so laß und warm. Du streiftest still von deinem Schoße Die Blätter einer Purpurrose.

Je t'avais joué une chanson. Tu te taisais. Ta main droite Tenait entre ses doigts lassés une grande rose Rouge sang, épanouie, pourpre. Et sur nous, avec une étrange splendeur, Se leva la douce nuit d'été, Exaltée par un éclat magnifique, La première nuit dont nous avons joui. Elle se leva et courba son sombre bras Autour de nous, et elle était si lasse et chaude. En silence tu effleuras de ton sein Les pétales d'une rose pourpre.

Vor mir her getrieben Weht ein welkes Blatt. Wandern, Jungsein und Lieben Seine Zeit und sein Ende hat. Das Blatt irrt ohne Gleise Wohin der Wind es will, Hält erst in Wald und Moder still . . . Wohin geht meine Reise?

Poussée devant moi Une feuille morte flotte. Vagabondage, jeunesse et amour Aussi ont une fin. La feuille erre sans dessein Là où le vent le veut, Ne s'arrête que dans la forêt et pourrit. Où mène mon voyage ?

Über den Himmel Wolken ziehn, Über die Felder geht der Wind, Über die Felder wandert Meiner Mutter verlorenes Kind. Über die Straße Blätter wehn, Über den Bäumen Vögel schrein -- Irgendwo über den Bergen Muß meine ferne Heimat sein.

[Là-haut dans le ciel]¹ [courent]² des nuages, Au-dessus des champs [passe]³ le vent, Dans les champs chemine L'enfant perdu de ma mère. Dans les rues volent des feuilles Dans les arbres crient des oiseaux – Quelque part au-delà des montagnes Doit se trouver ma lointaine patrie.

Der Tod ging nachts durch eine Stadt. Ein Fenster war noch rot im Dach, Dort saß ob einem Verseblatt Ein kranker Dichter spät noch wach. Der Tod stieß leis das Fenster ein Und blies die trübe Ampel aus. Ein Hauch, ein Blick, ein Lächelschein, Und dunkel wurde Stadt und Haus.

La mort passait de nuit dans une ville. La fenêtre d'un toit était encore rouge, Assis au-dessus d'une feuille couverte de vers Un poète malade veillait encore tard. La mort poussa doucement la fenêtre Et souffla la méchante lampe. Un souffle, un regard, l'ombre d'un sourire Et la ville et la maison s'assombrirent.

Eine schmale, weiße Eine sanfte, leise Wolke weht im Blauen hin. Senke Deinen Blick und fühle Selig sie mit weißer Kühle Dir durch blaue Träume ziehn.

Étroit, blanc, Doux, léger, Un nuage se balance dans l'azur. Baisse ton regard et sens Avec bonheur sa blanche fraîcheur Passer dans des bleus rêves.
