Flieder
Language: German (Deutsch)
Chosen for Diff
Die stillen Siebengassen
Leuchten im Morgen licht.
In blauen duft'gen Massen
Hängt hier der Flieder dicht.
Und plötzlich bleib ich stehen,
Nicht weiter will mein Fuss --
Mir ist als müsst ich sehen
Der dunklen Augen Gruss.
Sieh, Liebster, immer wieder
Sehn' ich mich still zurück -- -- --
Es blüht der blaue Flieder -- -- --
Glaubst du noch an ein Glück!?

Lilac
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Chosen for Diff
The silent seven streets
Shine brightly in the morning.
Blue, scented masses hang
Thickly upon the lilac.
And suddenly I stop,
My foot will go no further --
It seems to me as if I must see
The greeting of the dark eyes.
You see, beloved, ever and again
I quietly yearn to return -- -- --
The blue lilac is blooming -- -- --
Do you still believe in a happiness!?
