Lied der Liebe

(Sung text for setting by J. Kalliwoda)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Durch Fichten am Hügel, durch Erlen am Bach,
Folgt immer dein Bildniß, du Traute! mir nach.
Es lächelt bald Wehmuth, es lächelt bald Ruh',
Im freundlichen Schimmer des Mondes, mir zu.

 ... 

Mir hallt aus den Tiefen, mir hallt von den Höh'n,
Dein himmlischer Name wie Sphärengetön.
Ich wähne den Hauch, der die Blüthen umwebt,
Von deiner melodischen Stimme durchbebt.

 ... 

Die Freude sie schwindet, es dauert kein Leid;
Die Jahre verrauschen im Strome der Zeit;
Die Sonne wird sterben, die Erde vergehn:
Doch Liebe muß ewig und ewig bestehn.

Chant d'amour

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Kalliwoda)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Au-delà des sapins sur la colline, au-delà des aulnes près du ruisseau,
Ton image me suit toujours, ma bien-aimée !
Elle sourit tantôt d'amour, tantôt paisiblement,
Dans l'éclat amical de la lune.

 ... 

Depuis les profondeurs, depuis les sommets retentit
Ton nom céleste comme la musique des sphères.
Je m'imagine le parfum enveloppant les fleurs,
Entrelacé par ta voix mélodieuse.

 ... 

la joie disparaît, le chagrin ne dure pas ;
Les années s'enfuient dans le flot du temps ;
Le soleil mourra et la terre se flétrira :
Mais l'amour doit exister pour toujours.
