Minnelied des Grafen Peter von der Provence

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA LIT TUR

Treue Liebe dauert lange,
Überlebet manche Stund',
Und kein Zweifel macht sie bange,
Immer bleibt ihr Mut gesund.

Dräuen gleich in dichten Scharen,
Fordern gleich zum Wankelmut
Sturm und Tod, setzt den Gefahren
Lieb' entgegen, treues Blut.

Und wie Nebel stürzt zurücke,
Was den Sinn gefangen hält
Und dem heitern Frühlingsblicke
Öffnet sich die weite Welt.

True love lingers long

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Hensel)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

True love lingers long,
Outlives many an hour,
And no doubts will make it shrink;
Always will its spirits remain healthy.

They menace it in thick hordes,
Promoting vacillating doubt,
Storm and Death, these dangers
true blood opposes with Love.

And, like mist, starts back
What has held captive the senses,
And to the merry gaze of spring
the wide world opens itself.
