Language: German (Deutsch)

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!

Echo

(Sung text translation for setting by O. Nicolai)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

U eeuwig trouw! Als bergen en zeeën draaien,
In storm en kou,
Als briesjes suizen of woestijnen laaien:
U eeuwig trouw!
 
Bij kaarsenlicht in trotse marmerzalen,
Bij de flambouw
Der zilv'ren maan in stille herdersdalen:
U eeuwig trouw!
 
Laat eens mijn geest de levensfakkel zinken
- "Ga nu maar gauw" --,
Dan moog' in mijn gebroken hart nog klinken:
U eeuwig trouw!
