Der Geier Schmerz flog nun davon

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Der Geier Schmerz flog nun davon,
Die Stätte, wo er saß, ist leer;
Nur unten tief in meiner Brust
Regt sich noch etwas, dumpf und schwer.

Das ist die Sehnsucht, die mit Qual
Um deine holde Nähe wirbt,
Doch, eh' sie noch das Herz erreicht,
Mutlos die Flügel senkt und stirbt.

Comme un vautour le mal s'est maintenant envolé

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

Comme un vautour le mal s'est maintenant envolé,
L'endroit où il se tenait est vide ;
Seul tout au fond de mon cœur
Un je-ne-sais-quoi sourd et lourd s'agite encore.

C'est la nostalgie, qui accompagnée de peines
Tourbillonne autour de ta chère présence,
Mais avant qu'elle n'atteigne le cœur,
L'oiseau découragé s'abat et meurt.
