Dein Antlitz

(Sung text for setting by P. Frankenburger)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Dein Antlitz war mit Träumen ganz beladen.
Ich schwieg und sah dich an mit stummen Beben
Wie stieg das auf! daß ich mich einmal schon
In frühern Nächten völlig hingegeben

 ... 

Wie stieg das auf! denn allen diesen Dingen
Und ihrer Schönheit – die unfruchtbar war –
Hingab ich mich in großer Sehnsucht ganz
Wie jetzt für das Anschaun von deinem Haar
Und zwischen deinen Lidern diesen Glanz!

Ton visage . . .

(Sung text translation for setting by P. Frankenburger)

See original

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

Ton visage était tout chargé de rêves.
Je me taisais et te regardais avec un frisson muet.
Comme cela m'était revenu ! Qu'une fois déjà
En des nuits antérieures je m'étais tout entier donné

 ... 

Comme cela m'était revenu ! Car à toutes ces choses
Et leur beauté – qui était stérile –
Je m'étais tout entier adonné avec un grand désir,
Comme maintenant à la contemplation de tes cheveux
Et à cet éclat entre tes paupières !
