Gruß aus der Ferne

(Sung text for setting by W. Cramer)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT FRE

 ... 

Weht, weht, ihr Winde,
Bringt mir einen Gruß
Von meinem schönsten Kinde,
Darum ich trauern muß.
Küßt ihre Wangen,
Sagt ihr mein Verlangen,
Bringt ihr die Botschaft mein:
Ich lebe und sterbe dein.

Flieht, flieht ihr Lerchen
Über Berg und über Tal!
Ach, grüßt mir meine Schönste
Viel hunderttausendmal!
Flieht in den Garten,
Tut dort meiner warten,
Allwo die Treue blüht,
Ich lebe und sterbe dein.

Zijn wij gescheiden

(Sung text translation for setting by W. Cramer)

See original

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

 ... 

Waai, waai, o winden,
En breng mij vlug een groet
Van mijn zo teerbeminde,
Om wie ik treuren moet.
Kus haar de wangen,
Meld mijn verlangen,
Breng haar mijn boodschap gauw:
Ik leef en sterf voor jou.

Vlieg, vlieg, mijn vogels,
Over berg en over dal!
Groet ginds mijn schoonste
Wel honderdduizend maal!
Vlieg naar de lusthof,
Wacht daar mijn komst af,
Alwaar je trouw herkent:
Ik leef en sterf content.
