[Schließe mir]1 die Augen beide

füllest du mein ganzes Herz.

1. Ferme-moi les deux yeux
Language: French (Français) 
Ferme-moi les deux yeux
De tes chères mains;
Ainsi tout ce dont je souffre
Sous tes mains se calmera.
Et doucement la douleur,
Onde après onde, s'endormira,
Quand son dernier coup se fera sentir,
Tu empliras tout mon cœur.

2. Elisabeth  [sung text not yet checked]

Subtitle: Volkslied

by Wenzel Theodor Bradsky (1833 - 1881), "Elisabeth", subtitle: "Volkslied", op. 18 (Zwei Lieder) no. 2, published 1864 [ voice and piano ], Berlin, Simrock
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Meine Mutter hat's gewollt,
Den andern ich nehmen sollt';
Was ich zuvor besessen,
Mein Herz sollt' es vergessen;
Das hat es nicht gewollt.

Meine Mutter klag' ich an,
Sie hat nicht wohlgetan;
Was sonst in Ehren stünde,
Nun [ist es worden]1 Sünde.
Was fang ich an?

Für all' mein Stolz und Freud'
Gewonnen hab' ich Leid.
Ach, wär' das nicht [geschehen]2,
Ach, könnt' ich betteln [gehen]3
Über die braune Haid'!

2.
Language: French (Français) 
Ma mère l'a voulu,
Que je prenne l'autre ;
Ce que j'avais possédé,
Mon cœur doit l'oublier ;
Il ne l'a pas voulu.

J'accuse ma mère,
Elle n'a pas bien agi ;
Ce qui naguère était honorable
Est devenu aujourd'hui péché.
Que vais-je entreprendre ?

En échange de toute ma fierté et ma joie
J'ai récolté la douleur.
Ah, je voudrais que ce ne fut point arrivé,
Ah, si je pouvais aller mendier
Sur la lande brune !
