Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Auf ewig dein! Auf ewig dein! und wenn uns Meere trennen,
Wenn Stürme dräun, 
Wenn Weste säuseln oder Wüsten brennen:
Auf ewig dein! Auf ewig dein!

Beim Kerzenglanz im hohen Marmorsaale,
Beim Silberschein
Des Abendmonds im stillen Hirtenthale:
Auf ewig dein! Auf ewig dein!

Senkt einst mein Genius die Fackel nieder,
Mich zu befrein, mich zu befrein,
Dann hallt es noch im gebrochnen Herzen wieder:
Auf ewig dein! Auf ewig dein!

Écho

(Sung text translation for setting by O. Nicolai)

See original

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

À toi à jamais ! Que montagne et mer se séparent
Que les tempêtes menacent,
Que la brise frémisse ou le désert brûle :
À toi à jamais !

Dans l'éclat des bougies dans la fière salle de marbre,
Dans la clarté argentée
De la lune du soir dans le vallon des pâtres :
À toi à jamais !

Si un jour mon génie abaisse  le flambeau
Pour me libérer,
Alors retentira encore dans mon cœur brisé :
À toi à jamais !
