Geh, Geliebter, geh jetzt!

Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Geh, Geliebter, geh jetzt!
Sieh, der Morgen dämmert.

Leute gehen schon durch die Gasse,
Und der Markt wird so belebt,
Daß der Morgen wohl, der blasse,
Schon die weißen Flügel hebt.
Und vor unsern Nachbarn bin ich
Bange, daß du Anstoß giebst:
Denn sie wissen nicht, wie innig
Ich dich lieb' und du mich liebst.

Drum, Geliebter, geh jetzt!
Sieh, der Morgen dämmert.

Wenn die Sonn' am Himmel scheinend
Scheucht vom Feld die Perlen klar,
Muß auch ich die Perle weinend
Lassen, die mein Reichthum war.
Was als Tag den Andern funkelt,
Meinen Augen dünkt es Nacht,
Da die Trennung bang mir dunkelt,
Wenn das Morgenroth erwacht.

Geh, Geliebter, geh jetzt!
Sieh, der Morgen dämmert.

 ... 

Fliehe denn aus meinen Armen!
Denn versäumest du die Zeit,
Möchten für ein kurz Erwarmen
Wir ertauschen langes Leid.
Ist in Fegerfeuersqualen
Doch ein Tag schon auszustehn,
Wenn die Hoffnung fern in Strahlen
Läßt des Himmels Glorie sehn.

Drum, Geliebter, geh jetzt!
Sieh, der Morgen dämmert.

Va, mon amour, va maintenant
 (Sung text translation for setting by H. Wolf)
 See original
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Va, mon amour, va maintenant !
Regarde, le jour se lève.

Les gens passent déjà dans la rue,
Et le marché est si animé,
Que le matin lui-même, le pâle,
Déjà lève ses ailes blanches.
Et de nos voisins je
Crains que tu les choques :
Car ils ne savent pas combien profondément
Je t'aime et tu m'aimes.

Aussi, mon amour, va maintenant !
Regarde, le jour se lève.

Quand le soleil en brillant dans le ciel
Fait fuir des champs les perles claires,
Dois-je aussi en pleurant laisser
La perle qui fut ma richesse ?
Ce qui comme le jour brille pour les autres
Semble à mes yeux comme la nuit,
Car la séparation me rend anxieuse,
Quand l'aube s'éveille.

Va, mon amour, va maintenant !
Regarde, le jour se lève.

 ...
