by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Entflieh mit mir und sei mein Weib

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA

Entflieh mit mir und sei mein Weib,
Und ruh' an meinem Herzen aus;
Fern in der Fremde sei mein Herz
Dein Vaterland und Vaterhaus.

Gehst du nicht mit, so sterb ich hier
Und du bist einsam und allein;
Und bleibst du auch im Vaterhaus,
Wirst doch wie in der Fremde sein.

Kom, vlucht met mij en wees mijn vrouw

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

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

Kom, vlucht met mij en wees mijn vrouw,
Rust aan mijn borst en voel je thuis,
Ver in den vreemde ben 'k voor jou
Én vaderland én vaderhuis.
 
Ga jij niet mee, dan sterf ik hier,
En jij bent eenzaam en vervreemd;
Al blijf je ook in 't vaderhuis,
Je voelt je straks daar toch ontheemd."
