by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Warte, warte, wilder Schiffsmann
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Warte, warte, wilder Schiffsmann,
gleich folg' ich zum Hafen dir;
von zwei Jungfraun nehm' ich Abschied,
von Europa und von ihr.

Blutquell, rinn' aus meinen Augen,
Blutquell, brich aus meinem Leib,
daß ich mit dem heißen Blute
meine Schmerzen niederschreib'.

Ei, mein Lieb, warum just heute
schauderst du, mein Blut zu sehn?
Sahst mich bleich und herzeblutend
lange Jahre vor dir stehn!

Kennst du noch das alte Liedchen
von der Schlang' im Paradies,
die durch schlimme Apfelgabe
unsern Ahn ins Elend stieß.

Alles Unheil brachten Äpfel!
Eva bracht' damit den Tod,
Eris brachte Trojas Flammen,
du brachst'st beides, Flamm' und Tod.
