Vergängliches

(Sung text for setting by H. Gál)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Wo sind die Stunden
Der süßen Zeit,
Da ich zuerst empfunden,
Wie deine Lieblichkeit
Mich dir verbunden?
Sie sind verrauscht. Es bleibet doch dabei,
Daß alle Lust vergänglich sei.

 ... 

Ich schwamm in Freude,
Der Liebe Hand
Spann mir ein Kleid von Seide;
Das Blatt hat sich gewandt,
Ich geh im Leide,
Ich wein itzund, daß Lieb und Sonnenschein
Stets voller Angst und Wolken sein.

Où sont les heures

(Sung text translation for setting by H. Gál)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Où sont les heures 
des jours suaves
Quand j'ai pour la première fois ressenti
Comment ta grâce
M'avait attaché à toi ?
Elles se sont évanouies, il reste
Que tout bonheur est éphémère.
