Verratene Liebe

(Sung text for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

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

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE GRE IRI

Da nachts wir uns küßten, o Mädchen,
hat keiner uns zugeschaut.
Die Sterne, die standen am Himmel,
wir haben den Sternen getraut.

Es ist ein Stern gefallen,
der hat dem Meer uns verklagt,
da hat das Meer es dem Ruder,
das Ruder dem Schiffer gesagt.

Da sang der selbige Schiffer
es seiner Liebsten vor.
Nun singen's auf Straßen und Märkten
die Knaben und Mädchen im Chor.

An oíche a phóg'mar, a stóirín

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

Language: Irish (Gaelic) after the German (Deutsch)

An oíche a phóg'mar, a stóirín
gan finné ar bith ar an scéal.
Na réaltaí 'na seasamh sna flaithis
is chreideamar iontu gach réalt.

Bhí réalt amháin is thit sí
is dhein leis an muir gearán,
d'inis an mhuir é don stiúir
tá an scéal ag captaen an bháid.

Is d'inis an captaen céanna
an scéal dá shearcleannán
is is clos ar shráid is ar mhargadh
age madraí an bhaile an gearán.
