Our translations: DUT ENG FRE

Ins Joch beug' ich den Nacken demuthvoll,
Beug' lächelnd vor dem Mißgeschick dies Haupt,
Dies Herz das liebt und glaubt,
Vor meiner Feindin.  Wider diese Qual
Bäum' ich mich nicht mit Groll,
Mir bangt viel mehr, sie lindre sich einmal.
Wenn deines Auges Strahl
Dies Leid verwandelt hat in Lebenssaft,
Welch Leid hat dann zu töten mich die Kraft?

Madrigaal

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Strauss)

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

 Tegen deze kwaal
Sta ik niet op met wrok;
Ik vrees veel meer, dat zij verflauwt eenmaal.
Als ooit jouw ogenstraal
Dit leed veranderd heeft in levenskracht,
Welk leed heeft dan te doden mij nog macht?
