(Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE POR

Dem Schnee, dem Regen,
Dem Wind entgegen,
Im Dampf der Klüfte,
Durch Nebeldüfte,
Immer zu! Immer zu!
Ohne Rast und Ruh!

Lieber durch Leiden
Möcht' ich mich schlagen,
Als so viel Freuden
Des Lebens ertragen.
Alle das Neigen
Von Herzen zu Herzen,
Ach wie so eigen
Schaffet das Schmerzen!

Wie soll ich flieh'n?
Wälderwärts zieh'n?
Alles, alles vergebens!
Krone des Lebens,
Glück ohne Ruh,
Liebe, bist du!

Rusteloze liefde

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

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

Door sneeuw, door regen,
Met stormwind tegen,
In damp van kolken,
Door nevelwolken,
Altijd door, altijd door
Jagen in haar spoor!

Liever aan lijden
Zou ik mij wagen
Dan zoveel vreugden
Des levens verdragen.
Al dat gehunker
Van harten naar harten.
Ach, hoe bijzonder
Creëert dat smarten!

Hoe dit ontgaan?
Wouden in gaan?
Niets, nee, niets kan het baten!
Hoogste der staten,
Geluksslavernij,
Liefde, ben jij!
