Sind es Schmerzen, sind es Freuden
Language: German (Deutsch)
Sind es Schmerzen, sind es Freuden, Die durch meinen Busen ziehn? Alle alten Wünsche scheiden, Tausend neue Blumen blühn. Durch die Dämmerung der Tränen Seh' ich [ferne]1 Sonnen stehn, - Welches Schmachten! welches Sehnen! Wag' ich's? soll ich näher gehn? Ach, und fällt die Träne nieder, Ist es dunkel um mich her; Dennoch kömmt kein Wunsch mir wieder, [Zukunft]2 ist von Hoffnung leer. So schlage denn, [strebendes]3 Herz, So fließet denn, Tränen, [herab]4, Ach, Lust ist nur tieferer Schmerz, Leben ist [dunkeles]5 Grab, - Ohne Verschulden Soll [ich]6 erdulden? Wie ist's, daß mir im Traum Alle Gedanken Auf und nieder schwanken! Ich kenne mich noch kaum. O, hört mich, ihr gütigen Sterne, O höre mich, [grünende Flur]7, [Du, Liebe, den heiligen]8 Schwur: Bleib' ich ihr ferne, Sterb' ich gerne. Ach, nur [im Licht von]9 ihrem Blick Wohnt Leben und Hoffnung und Glück!

Bu keder mi sevinç mi
Language: Turkish (Türkçe) after the German (Deutsch)
Bu keder mi sevinç mi Yüreğimi kaplayan? Bütün eski arzular yok oldu, Şimdi binlerce yeni çiçek açıyor. Bulanık gözyaşlarımın arasından Uzaklarda güneşler görüyorum. Bu nasıl bir helak oluş! Nasıl bir özlem! Cesaret göstermeli miyim? Yakınlaşmalı mıyım? Ah, gözyaşlarım dökülmeye başlayınca Etrafım karanlık oluyor; Arzularıma yanıt gelmezse Gelecek için umut yok demektir. Arzu dolu kalbim gümbürdesin, Gözyaşlarım dökülsün, Tutku çok derin bir acı, Yaşamsa karanlık bir mezar. Hiç suçsuzken yine de katlanmak zorunda mıyım? Nasıl oluyor da hayalimde Bütün düşünceler bocalayıp sarsılıyor? Artık kendimi tanıyamıyorum. Beni duyun, lütufkar yıldızlar, beni duyun yeşeren otlaklar, Ve sen aşk, duy kutsal yemini: Ondan uzak kalırsam ölümü yeğlerim. Ah, ah, ah! yalnızca onun bakışlarının ışığında Var olur yaşam, ümit ve mutluluk!
