Lune malade
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
O Lune, nocturne phtisique, Sur le noir oreiller des cieux, Ton immense regard fièvreux M'attire comme une musique! Tu meurs d'un amour chimérique, Et d'un désir silencieux, O Lune, nocturne phtisique, Sur le noir oreiller des cieux! Mais 'dans sa volupté physique L'amant qui passe insoucieux Prend pour des rayons gracieux Ton sang blanc et mélancolique, O Lune, nocturne phtisique!

Der kranke Mond Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Du nächtig todeskranker Mond Dort auf des Himmels schwarzem Pfühl, Dein Blick, so fiebernd übergroß, Bannt mich wie fremde Melodie. An unstillbarem Liebesleid Stirbst du, an Sehnsucht, tief erstickt, Du nächtig todeskranker Mond Dort auf des Himmels schwarzem Pfühl. Den Liebsten, der im Sinnenrausch Gedankenlos zur Liebsten schleicht, Belustigt deiner Strahlen Spiel - Dein bleiches, qualgebornes Blut, Du nächtig todeskranker Mond.
