Ich stand gelehnet an den Mast

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Ich stand gelehnet an den Mast,
Und zählte jede Welle.
Ade! mein schönes Vaterland!
Mein Schiff, das segelt schnelle!

Ich kam schön Liebchens Haus vorbei,
Die Fensterscheiben blinken;
Ich guck' mir fast die Augen aus,
Doch will mir niemand winken.

Ihr Tränen, bleibt mir aus dem Aug',
Daß ich nicht dunkel sehe.
Mein krankes Herze brich mir nicht
Vor allzugroßem Wehe.

Op de boot

NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Ik stond, al leunend, aan de mast
En telde alle golven.
Vaarwel, mijn mooie vaderland!
Mijn schip rent snel als wolven!
 
Ik kwam mijn liefjes huis voorbij,
Het vensterglas, dat blonk er;
Ik keek mij haast de ogen uit,
Maar alles bleef er donker.
 
Weg tranen, blijf mij uit het oog,
Maak er geen doffe bende!
Mijn kranke hart, ach, breek toch niet
Van al teveel ellende!
