by Alfred Henschke (1890 - 1928), as Jucundus Fröhlich Klabund

Du gabst mir immer wieder
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
"Du gabst mir immer wieder
Dein Herz und deine Lieder,
Ich nahm sie sorglos hin.
Nun muß ich dich betrüben:
Ich [darf]1 dich [nicht mehr]2 lieben,
Weil ich nicht dein mehr bin."

"Und liebst du einen andern,
[Will]3 ich ins Weite wandern,
Mir wird so enge hier.
Wie schmerzlich blüht der Flieder!
Mein Herz und meine Lieder,
[Ich lasse sie bei dir]4."
