Adieu

(Sung text translation for setting by S. Karg-Elert)

See original

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

Adieu, adieu, mon amour,
Aujourd'hui je dois partir,
Un baiser, donne‑moi un baiser,
Je dois m'écarter pour toujours.

Une fleur, cueilles‑moi une fleur
De l'arbre du jardin,
Pas de fruit, pas de fruit pour moi,
Je ne peux l'espérer.
