Sind es Schmerzen, sind es Freuden

Sind es Schmerzen, sind es Freuden,
Die durch meinen Busen ziehn?
Alle alten Wünsche scheiden,
Tausend neue Blumen blühn.

Durch die Dämmerung der Tränen
Seh' ich ferne Sonnen stehn, -
Welches Schmachten! welches Sehnen!
Wag' ich's? soll ich näher gehn?

Ach, und fällt die Träne nieder,
Ist es dunkel um mich her;
Dennoch kömmt kein Wunsch mir wieder,
Zukunft ist von Hoffnung leer.

So schlage denn, strebendes Herz,
So fließet denn, Tränen, herab,
Ach, Lust ist nur tieferer Schmerz,
Leben ist dunkles Grab, -

Ohne Verschulden
Soll ich erdulden?
Wie ist's, daß mir im Traum
Alle Gedanken
Auf und nieder schwanken!
Ich kenne mich noch kaum.

O, hört mich, ihr gütigen Sterne,
O höre mich, grünende Flur,
Du, Liebe, den heiligen Schwur:
Bleib' ich ihr ferne,
Sterb' ich gerne.
Ach, nur im Licht von ihrem Blick
Wohnt Leben und Hoffnung und Glück!

Bu keder mi sevinç mi

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

Language: Turkish (Türkçe) after the German (Deutsch)

Bu keder mi sevinç mi 
Yüreğimi kaplayan? 
Bütün eski arzular yok oldu,
Şimdi binlerce yeni çiçek açıyor.

Bulanık gözyaşlarımın arasından 
Uzaklarda güneşler görüyorum. 
Bu nasıl bir helak oluş! Nasıl bir özlem! 
Cesaret göstermeli miyim? Yakınlaşmalı mıyım?

Ah, gözyaşlarım dökülmeye başlayınca 
Etrafım karanlık oluyor; 
Arzularıma yanıt gelmezse 
Gelecek için umut yok demektir.

Arzu dolu kalbim gümbürdesin,
Gözyaşlarım dökülsün, 
Tutku çok derin bir acı, 
Yaşamsa karanlık bir mezar.

Hiç suçsuzken 
yine de katlanmak zorunda mıyım? 
Nasıl oluyor da hayalimde 
Bütün düşünceler 
bocalayıp sarsılıyor? 
Artık kendimi tanıyamıyorum. 

Beni duyun, lütufkar yıldızlar,
beni duyun yeşeren otlaklar, 
Ve sen aşk, duy kutsal yemini: 
Ondan uzak kalırsam 
ölümü yeğlerim. 
Ah, ah, ah! yalnızca onun bakışlarının ışığında 
Var olur yaşam, ümit ve mutluluk!
