Language: German (Deutsch)

Ach, ich sehne mich nach Tränen,
Liebestränen, schmerzenmild,
Und ich fürchte, dieses Sehnen
Wird am Ende noch erfüllt.

Ach, der Liebe süßes Elend
Und der Liebe bittre Lust
Schleicht sich wieder, himmlisch quälend,
In die kaum genes'ne Brust.

Ah, je voudrais pleurer

(Sung text translation for setting by K. Reissiger)

See original

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

Ah, je voudrais pleurer,
Des larmes d'amour, doux chagrin,,
Et je crains que ce désir
Ne soit enfin jamais satisfait.

Ah, la douce misère de l'amour
Et l'amer plaisir de l'amour,
Tortures célestes, à nouveau s'insinuent
Dans ma poitrine tout juste guérie.

Les yeux bleus du printemps
Me regardent de la prairie ;
Là sont les chères violettes
Que j'ai choisies pour un bouquet.

Je les ai cueillies et songe,
Et toutes mes pensées,
Qui murmurent dans mon cœur,
Le rossignol les chante tout haut.

Oui, ce que je pense, il le chante,
Le chante à tue-tête, et retentissent
Tous mes délicats secrets,
Déjà connus de toute la forêt.
