by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)
Translation by Ladislav Dolanský (1857 - 1910)

Vorbei
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Das ist der alte Baum nicht mehr,
Der damals hier gestanden,
Auf dem ich gesessen im Blütenmeer
Über den sonnigen Landen.

Das ist der Wald nicht mehr, der sacht
Vom Berge rauschte nieder,
Wenn ich vom Liebchen ritt bei Nacht,
Das Herz voll neuer Lieder.

Das ist nicht mehr das tiefe Tal
Mit den grasenden Rehen,
In das wir Nachts vieltausendmal
Zusammen hinausgesehen. --

Es ist der Baum noch, Tal und Wald,
Die Welt ist jung geblieben,
Du aber wurdest seitdem alt,
Vorbei ist das schöne Lieben.

To tam!
Language: Czech (Čeština)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Ten starý strom to není již,
co stál tu v dobách dávných,
na nějž jsem se vznesl ve květnou výš
nad obzor krajů těch vábných.
 
Ten strom to není již,
jenž s návrší v dol šuměl báje,
když jel jsem v noci od milé
v ňadrech blaha ráje.
 
...
...
...

 
Ten strom to ještě, dol i háj,
ten svět nemá ni vrásky,
tvé ale stáří nezná máj,
to tam jaro naší lásky.
