Die Nachtigal hat mich vom Schlaf...
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Die Nachtigal1 hat mich vom Schlaf erweckt
Mit ihrem süßen Gesange,
Wie hat ihr Schlag mich tief erschreckt,
Wie pocht mir das Herz so bange!
Wohl hat der Mai in dieser Nacht
Geschüttelt die goldenen Schwingen,
Und alle Blumen sind erwacht,
Und alle Quellen springen.
Allein das Weh, das mich erfaßt
Weicht nimmermehr von hinnen,
Ach! daß du mich vergessen hast,
Das bringt mich noch von Sinnen.

From sleep the nightingale has awoken me
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
From sleep the nightingale has awoken me
With its sweet singing.
How the sound of its jugging deeply startled me ,
How anxiously my heart beats!
Truly in this night May
Has shaken its golden pinions,
And all the flowers have awakened
And all the water springs are bubbling.
Only the pain that has grasped me
Nevermore leaves me.
Ah! that you have forgotten me,
That will yet drive me out of my senses.
