(Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Über Thal und Fluß getragen,
Ziehet rein der Sonne Wagen.
Ach, sie regt in ihrem Lauf,
So wie deine, meine Schmerzen,
Tief im Herzen,
Immer morgens wieder auf.

Kaum will mir die Nacht noch frommen,
Denn die Träume selber kommen
Nun in trauriger Gestalt,
Und ich fühle dieser Schmerzen,
Still im Herzen,
Heimlich bildende Gewalt.

À Mignon

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

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

Au-dessus des vallées et des fleuves,
Le char du soleil fait son chemin.
Ah, il remue dans sa course,
Mes douleurs, comme les tiennes,
Au profond du cœur,
Toujours à nouveau chaque matin.

À peine la nuit m'aide-t-elle encore,
Car mes rêves eux-mêmes viennent
Maintenant sous un aspect attristé,
Et je ressens ces douleurs
En silence dans mon cœur,
Une force secrètement formée.
