Die Linde blühte, die Nachtigall sang
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: FRE
Die Linde blühte, die Nachtigall sang, Die Sonne lachte mit freundlicher Lust; Da küßtest du mich, und dein Arm mich umschlang, Da preßtest du mich an die schwellende Brust. Die Blätter fielen, der Rabe schrie hohl, Die Sonne grüßte verdrossenen Blicks; Da sagten wir frostig einander: "Lebwohl!" Da knickstest du höflich den höflichsten Knicks.

Пел соловей, и липа цвела, Приветно смеялось светило дня; И ты с поцулуем меня привлекла К себе на грудь, обняв меня. Угрюмо туманился солнца лик, Листы опадали под крик ворон, И холоден был расставанья миг, И ты мне отвесила светский поклон.
