Gruß aus der Ferne

(Sung text for setting by W. Cramer)

See base text

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.

 ... 

Soufflez, soufflez, vents,
Et apportez-moi le salut
De ma plus belle enfant
Qu'il me faut pleurer.
Embrassez ses joues,
Dites-lui mon désir,
Apportez-lui mon message :
Je vis et meurs pour toi.

Volez, volez, alouettes,
Au-dessus des monts et des vallons !
Saluez la plus belle
Plus de cent mille fois !
Volez dans le jardin,
Faites le guet pour moi,
La où brille la fidélité,
Je vis et je meurs content.
