Liebe ist an Sommers Statt

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Liebe ist an Sommers Statt,
Wer ein Lieb im Arme hat,
Der kann keck des Winters spotten --
Liebe ist an Sommers Statt.

[Wo Zwei stehen treu vereint,
Wenn die Sonne trüb auch scheint]¹,
[Bald]² wird's warm auch in der Kälte,
[Wo Zwei stehen treu vereint]³.

Lieb' entstand im Paradies,
Daraus hat sie auch gewiß
Ein Stück Wärme mitgenommen,
Lieb' entstand im Paradies.

Treue Liebe ewig brennt,
Feuersgluth geht bald zu End',
Darum [such’ für’s kalte Leben]⁴
Ein treu Herz, das ewig brennt.

Love has replaced summer

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Love has replaced summer,
Those who hold a beloved in their arms
Can pertly mock at winter --
Love has replaced summer.

[When two are devotedly united,
Though the sun shines only dimly]¹,
[Soon]² it shall be warm even midst the cold,
[When two are devotedly united.]³

Love arose in paradise,
From whence with certainty
It took a portion of warmth along,
Love arose in paradise.

True love blazes eternally,
The glow of a fire soon ends,
Thus, [seek for this cold life]⁴
A true heart, that blazes eternally.
