French (Français) translations of Vier Lieder, opus 22

by Leander Schlegel (1844 - 1913)

1. Wo ich bin  [sung text not yet checked]
by Leander Schlegel (1844 - 1913), "Wo ich bin", op. 22 (Vier Lieder) no. 1
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wo ich bin, mich rings umdunkelt
Finsterniß so dumpf und dicht,
Seit mir nicht mehr leuchtend funkelt,
Liebste, deiner Augen Licht.

[Mir]1 erloschen ist der süßen
Liebessterne goldne Pracht,
Abgrund gähnt zu meinen Füßen.
Nimm mich auf, uralte Nacht.

1 Strauss: "Wie"

by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
1.
Language: French (Français) 
Où que je sois l'obscurité m'entoure,
Ténèbres si sourdes et si épaisses,
Depuis que n'étincelle plus en moi,
Très chère, la lumière de tes yeux.

[Elle]1 s'est éteinte en moi, la splendeur dorée
De la douce étoile de l'amour,
Un précipice s'ouvre à mes pieds –
Saisis-moi nuit immémoriale.

2. Sie haben heut' abend Gesellschaft  [sung text not yet checked]
by Leander Schlegel (1844 - 1913), "Sie haben heut' abend Gesellschaft", op. 22 (Vier Lieder) no. 2, published 18--?
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sie [haben]1 heut' abend Gesellschaft
Und das Haus ist lichterfüllt.
Dort oben am [hohen]2 Fenster
Bewegt sich ein Schattenbild.

Du [siehst]3 mich nicht, im Dunkeln
Steh' ich hier unten allein,
Noch weniger kannst du schauen
In mein dunkles Herz hinein.

Mein dunkles Herze liebt dich,
Es liebt dich und es bricht,
[Es]4 bricht und zuckt und verblutet,
[Du aber]5 siehst es nicht.

2.
Language: French (Français) 
Ce soir ils ont de la compagnie
Et la maison est toute éclairée.
Là-haut, à la haute fenêtre
Une silhouette se déplace.

Dans le noir tu ne me vois pas,
Je suis là, en-bas, seul,
Et encore moins peux-tu voir
A l'intérieur de mon sombre coeur.

Mon coeur ténébreux t'aime,
Il t'aime et se brise,
Il se brise et palpite et saigne,
Mais tu ne le vois pas.
