by Paul Verlaine (1844 - 1896)
Translation by Richard von Schaukal (1874 - 1942)

Il pleure dans mon cœur
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG ENG GER GER SPA
Il pleure dans mon cœur
Comme il pleut sur la ville ;
Quelle est cette langueur
Qui pénètre mon cœur ?

Ô bruit doux de la pluie,
Par terre et sur les toits !
Pour un cœur qui s'ennuie,
Ô le chant de la pluie !

Il pleure sans raison
Dans ce cœur qui s'écœure.
Quoi ! nulle trahison ? ...
Ce deuil est sans raison.

C'est bien la pire peine,
De ne savoir pourquoi...
Sans amour et sans haine
Mon cœur a tant de peine !

Regen
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Regen sinkt auf die Stadt,
und mein Herz steht in Tränen.
Ich weiß nicht, was es hat:
mein Herz ist voll Sehnen.

Das ruhige Regenklopfen
auf den Dächern und Gassen.
Leise trommeln die Tropfen:
Verlassen, verlassen!

Warum nur muss ich weinen?
Mein Herz ist am Verscheiden.
Warum? Ich weiss ja keinen
Grund, solchen Gram zu leiden!

O das ist bitt're Pein:
so sonder Lieb und Groll
unsäglich traurig sein,
das Herz von Tränen voll.
