by Mirzə Şəfi Vazeh (1794 - 1852)

Aus Mirza‑Schaffy
 (Sung text for setting by C. Grädener)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Azerbaijani (Azərbaycan dili) 
Nach einem hohen Ziele streben wir,
   So ich wie Du!
Uns in Gefangenschaft begeben wir,
    So ich wie du!
In mein Herz sperr' ich Dich -- Du mich in Deines,
Getrennt und doch vereinet leben wir,
    So ich wie Du!
Dich fing mein Witz -- und mich Dein schönes Auge,
Und wie zwei Fisch' am Angel schweben wir,
    So ich wie Du!
Und doch den Fischen ungleich -- durch die Lüft'
Uns wie ein Adlerpaar erheben uns,
    So ich wie Du!
