Liebeslied

(Sung text for setting by F. Scheiding)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Als ich dich kaum geseh'n,
Mußt es mein Herz gestehn,
Ich konnt' dir nimmermehr
Vorübergehn.

Fällt nun der Sternenschein
Nachts in mein Kämmerlein,
Lieg ich und schlafe nicht
Und denke dein.

Ist doch die Seele mein
So ganz geworden dein,
Zittert in deiner Hand,
Tu ihr kein Leid!

Fritz Scheiding

De l'instant où je t'ai vue

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Scheiding)

See original

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

De l'instant où je t'ai vue,
Mon cœur doit l'avouer,
Je ne pouvais plus jamais
Passer devant toi.

Maintenant la nuit seule la lueur des étoiles
Tombe dans ma petite chambre,
Je suis allongé et ne dors pas,
Et je pense à toi.

Malgré tout mon âme
Est totalement devenue tienne,
Elle tremble dans ta main,
Ne lui fais pas de mal !
