Die tausend Grüße

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE

Die tausend Grüße,
Die wir dir senden,
Ostwind dir müsse
Keinen entwenden!

Zu dir im Schwarme
Zieh'n die Gedanken.
Könnten die Arme
Auch dich umranken!

Du in die Lüfte
Hauche dein Sehnen!
Laß deine Düfte,
Küsse mich wähnen.

Schwör' es! Ich hör'es:
Daß du mir gut bist,
Hör' es! Ich schwör' es:
Daß du mein Blut bist.

Dein war und blieb' ich,
Dein bin und bleib' ich
Schon vielmal schrieb' ich's,
Noch vielmal schreib' ich's.

Duet 'De duizend groeten'

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

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

De duizend groeten
Die wij je zenden,
Oostenwind moet er
Geen van afwenden!
 
Naar jou toe snellen
Drommen gedachten.
Kon 'k jou omknellen!
Ik kan niet wachten!
 
Laat mij bespeuren
Jouw innig smachten,
Mij door jouw geuren
Kussen verwachten.
 
Zweer het, 'k noteer het:
Dat jij me liefhebt,
Noteer het, ik zweer het:
Dat jij mijn hart hebt.
 
Trouw was en bleef ik,
Trouw ben en blijf ik,
Al dikwijls schreef ik 't,
Nog dikwijls schrijf ik 't.
