Über die See

(Sung text for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Über die See,
Fern über die See,
Ist mein Schatz gezogen,
Ist ihm mein Herz
Voll Ach und Weh,
Bang ihm nachgeflogen.

Brauset das Meer,
Wild brauset das Meer,
Stürme dunkel jagen,
sinket die Sonn',
Die Welt wird leer,
Muß mein Herz verzagen.

Bin ich allein,
Ach, immer allein,
Meine Kräfte schwinden.
Muß ich zurück
In matter Pein,
Kann dich nimmer finden.

Johannes Brahms

Over de zee

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

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

Over de zee,
Ver over de zee,
Is mijn schat getogen,
Is hem mijn hart,
Vol ach en wee,
Angstig nagevlogen.
 
Luid bruist de zee,
Wild buldert de zee,
Donk’re stormen jagen,
‘t Zonlicht verdwijnt,
De wereld wordt leeg,
‘t Doet mijn hart versagen.
 
‘k Ben heel alleen,
Ach, altijd alleen,
En mijn krachten wijken.
‘k Moet toch terug,
Vermoeid, vol pijn;
‘k Kan je nooit bereiken.
