Du meine Seele, du mein Herz,
Du meine Wonn', o du mein Schmerz,
Du meine Welt, in der ich lebe,
Mein Himmel du, darein ich schwebe,
O du mein Grab, in das hinab
Ich ewig meinen Kummer gab!
Du bist die Ruh, du bist der Frieden,
Du bist vom Himmel mir beschieden.
Daß du mich liebst, macht mich mir werth,
Dein Blick hat mich vor mir verklärt,
Du hebst mich liebend über mich,
Mein guter Geist, mein beßres Ich!

Toi mon âme, toi mon coeur

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

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

Toi mon âme, toi mon coeur,
Toi ma joie de vivre, toi ma peine,
Toi mon monde, dans lequel je vie,
Mon ciel c'est toi, auquel je suis suspendu,
O toi mon tombeau, dans lequel
Je déposerai pour toujours mon chagrin.
Tu es la tranquillité, tu es la paix,
Tu es le ciel qui m'est échu.
Que tu m'aimes, me rend digne,
Ton regard est la lumière de mes yeux,
Ton amour m'élève au-dessus de moi-même,
Mon bon esprit, mon meilleur moi!
