Seit die Liebste war entfernt

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Seit die Liebste war entfernt,
Hatt' ich's Lachen ganz verlernt.
Schlechten Witz riß mancher Wicht,
Aber lachen konnt' ich nicht.

Seit ich sie verloren hab,
Schafft' ich auch das Weinen ab;
Fast vor Weh das Herz mir bricht,
Aber weinen kann ich nicht.

Depuis que ma bien‑aimée est partie

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

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Depuis que ma bien-aimée est partie
J'ai complètement perdu le goût de rire.
Les freluquets firent de mauvaises plaisanteries
Mais je ne pouvais pas rire.

Depuis que je l'ai perdue ,
J'ai également cessé de pleurer ;
La douleur m'a quasiment brisé le cœur,
Mais je ne peux pas rire.
