Return to the original list
Die ihr meine Brüder seid, Arme Menschen nah und ferne, Die ihr im Bezirk der Sterne Tröstung träumet eurem Leid, Die ihr wortelos gefaltet In die blaß gestirnte Nacht Schmale Dulderhände haltet, Die ihr leidet, die ihr wacht, Arme, irrende Gemeinde, Schiffer ohne Stern und Glück -- Fremde, dennoch mir Vereinte, Gebt mir meinen Gruß zurück.

You who [are]1 my brethren, Poor people near and far, Who in the realm of the stars Dream of comfort for your woe, Who, mutely folded, hold Your slender, patiently suffering hands Into the pale-starred night, You who suffer, you who watch, Poor, erring congregation, Sailors without star and good fortune -- Strangers, yet united with me, Return my greeting to me.

Wieder schreitet er den braunen Pfad Von den stürmeklaren Berge nieder, Wieder quellen, wo der Schöne naht, Liebe Blumen auf und Vogellieder. Wieder auch verführt er meinen Sinn, Daß in dieser zart erblühten Reine Mir die Erde, deren Gast ich bin, Eigentum und holde Heimat scheine.

Once more [spring] strides along the brown path Down from the storm-cleared mountains, Again, everywhere the beautiful one nears, Dear flowers and bird songs well forth. Again my spirit, too, is seduced, That in this delicately blossoming purity The earth, whose guest I am, can seem To be my own and my lovely homeland.

Wie sind die Tage schwer! An keinem Feuer kann ich erwarmen, Keine Sonne lacht mir mehr, Ist alles leer, Ist alles kalt und ohne Erbarmen, Und auch die lieben klaren Sterne schauen mich trostlos an, Seit ich im Herzen erfahren, Daß Liebe sterben kann.

How onerous are the days! At no fire can I grow warm, No sun smiles upon me any longer, Everything is empty, Everything is cold and without mercy, And even the beloved, clear Stars gaze upon me disconsolately, Since my heart has learned That love can die.
