Minnelied

(Sung text for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT DUT ENG ENG FRE

  Der Holdseligen 
    Sonder Wank
  Sing' ich fröhlichen 
    Minnesang;
  Denn die Reine, 
  Die ich meine,
Winkt mir lieblichen Habedank.
 
  Ach! bin inniglich 
    Minnewund!
  Gar zu minniglich 
    küsst ihr Mund;
  Lacht so grüsslich, 
  Lockt so küsslich,
Daß mir's bebt in des Herzens Grund!
 
  Gleich der sonnigen 
    Veilchenau'
  Glänzt der Wonnigen 
    Augen Blau;
  Frisch und ründchen 
  Blüht ihr Mündchen,
Gleich der knospenden Ros' im Thau.
 
  Ihrer Wängelein 
    Lichtes Roth
  Hat kein Engelein, 
    So mir Gott !
  Eia, säß' ich 
  Unablässig
Bei der Preißlichen bis zum Tod!

Liefdeslied

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

De lieftallige, 
trouw al lang,
Zing ik vrolijk een 
minnezang,
Want de schone 
van mijn dromen
Knikt mij lieflijk toe 'Heb mijn dank'.
 
Ach, zo diep voel ik 
liefdes wond!
Al te liefelijk 
kust haar mond!
Lacht zo knusjes, 
lokt met kusjes,
Dat te beven mijn hart begon.
 
Als een zonnige 
bloemenschouw
Glanst mijn honnepons 
ogenblauw,
Fris, een rondje, 
bloeit haar mondje
Als een bottende roos in dauw.
 
Zulke wangetjes 
mooi lichtrood
Heeft geen engeltje, 
klein of groot!
Zat 'k vertrouw'lijk 
onophoud'lijk
Bij die lieveling tot de dood!
