by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Ach, die Augen sind es wieder
 (Sung text for setting by N. Boulanger)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT FRE FRE
Ach, die Augen sind es wieder, 
Die mich einst so lieblich grüßten,
Und es sind die Lippen wieder,
Die das Leben mir versüßten.

Auch die Stimme ist es wieder,
Die ich einst so gern gehöret!
Nur ich selber bin's nicht wieder,
Bin verändert heimgekehret.

Von den weißen, schönen Armen
Fest und liebevoll umschlossen,
Lieg ich jetzt an ihrem Herzen,
Dumpfen Sinnes und verdroßen.
