Versunken

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA

Es brausen der Liebe Wogen
Und schäumen mir um das Herz;
Zwei tiefe Augen zogen
Mich mächtig niederwärts.

Mich lockte der Nixen Gemunkel,
Die wunderliebliche Mär,
Als ob die Erde dunkel
Und leuchtend die Tiefe wär'!

Als würde die seligste Ferne
Dort unten reizende Näh',
Als könnt' ich des Himmels Sterne
Dort greifen in blauer See.

Nun brausen und schäumen die Wogen
Und hüllen mich allwärts ein,
Es schimmert in Regenbogen
Die Welt von ferne herein.

Verzonken

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

‘k Voel bruisende liefdesgolven,
Zij schuimen rondom mijn hart;
Twee diepe ogen trokken
Mij machtig neer in ’t zwart.
 
Mij lokte ’t gemonkel der Nixen,
Hun wonderlijk lief gekras,
Alsof de aarde donker
En lichtend de diepte was!
 
Als kwam ook de zaligste verte
Daar onder heerlijk nabij,
Als kon ik de hemelsterren
Daar grijpen in ‘t blauw getij.

Nu bruisen en schuimen de golven
En hullen mij rondom in,
Daar schittert als regenbooglicht
Van ver de wereld doorheen.
