An den Sonnenschein

(Sung text for setting by A. Jensen)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

O Sonnenschein! o Sonnenschein!
Wie scheinst du mir ins Herz hinein,
Weckst drinnen lauter Liebeslust,
Daß mir so enge wird die Brust!

Und enge wird mir Stub' und Haus,
Und wie ich lauf' zum Thor hinaus,
Da lockst du gar ins frische Grün
Die allerschönsten Mädchen hin!

O Sonnenschein! Du glaubest wohl,
Daß ich wie du es machen soll,
Der jede schmucke Blume küßt,
Die eben nur sich dir erschließt?

Hast doch so lang' die Welt erblickt,
Und weißt, daß sich's für mich nicht schickt;
Was machst du mir denn solche Pein?
O Sonnenschein! o Sonnenschein!

Aan de zonneschijn

(Sung text translation for setting by A. Jensen)

See original

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

O zonneschijn, o zonneschijn!
Wat schijn je in mijn hart toch fijn,
Wekt daarin louter liefdesdorst,
Zodat zo eng dan wordt mijn borst!
 
Het wordt mij ook te eng in huis
En als ik dan verlaat mijn kluis,
Dan lok jij ook naar 't groen meteen
De allermooiste meisjes heen!
 
O zonneschijn, je weet toch wel
Dat jij voor mij bent het model,
Jij die elk fleurig bloempje kust,
Dat even toegeeft aan zijn lust?
 
Zo lang al zie jij de wereld aan,
Je weet: voor mij wil 't zó niet gaan;
Waarom doe jij me zoveel pijn?
O zonneschijn, o zonneschijn!
