Wie soll ich die Freude
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA LIT TUR
Wie soll ich die Freude,
Die Wonne denn tragen?
Daß unter dem Schlagen
Des Herzens die Seele nicht scheide?

Und wenn nun die Stunden
Der Liebe verschwunden,
Wozu das Gelüste,
In trauriger Wüste
Noch weiter ein lustleeres Leben zu ziehn,
Wenn nirgend dem Ufer mehr Blumen erblühn?

Wie geht mit bleibehangnen Füßen
Die Zeit bedächtig Schritt vor Schritt!
Und wenn ich werde scheiden müssen,
Wie federleicht fliegt dann ihr Tritt!

Schlage, sehnsüchtige Gewalt,
In tiefer, treuer Brust!
Wie Lautenton vorüberhallt,
Entflieht des Lebens schönste Lust.
Ach, wie bald
Bin ich der Wonne mir kaum noch bewußt.

Rausche, rausche weiter fort,
Tiefer Strom der Zeit,
Wandelst bald aus Morgen Heut,
Gehst von Ort zu Ort;
Hast du mich bisher getragen,
Lustig bald, dann still,
Will es nun auch weiter wagen,
Wie es werden will.

Darf mich doch nicht elend achten,
Da die Einz'ge winkt,
Liebe läßt  mich nicht verschmachten,
Bis dies Leben sinkt!
Nein, der Strom wird immer breiter,
Himmel bleibt mir immer heiter,
Fröhlichen Ruderschlags fahr' ich hinab,
Bring' Liebe und Leben zugleich an das Grab.

F. Boyneburgk sets stanzas 5-6

Bu sevinci, bu mutluluğu
Language: Turkish (Türkçe)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Bu sevinci, bu mutluluğu 
Nasıl taşımalıyım ki, 
Kalp çarpıntıları içinde 
Ruhum sona ermesin?

Ve şayet aşkın saati 
Geçtiyse , 
Hırs niyedir, 
bu elem dolu çölde 
Zevksiz bir yaşam sürmek için, 
Artık dere boyunca çiçekler hiç açmıyorsa?

Kurşun ağırlığındaki ayaklarla 
Zaman adım adım nasıl da yavaş geçer! 
Ve ben ayrılmak zorunda kalırsam 
Nasıl da tüy gibi hafifleyip uçar o adımlar!

Gümbürde, özlem dolu güç 
İçimde, sadık yüreğimde! 
Lavta sesinin yansımaları nasıl etrafta tınlayıp biterse 
Yaşamın en güzel zevki de yok olur gider. 
Ah ne zaman 
Mutluluğa ereceğim? 

Çağla, çağıldamaya devam et 
Zamanın derin akıntısı, 
Sen de yakında değişirsin, dünden bugüne, 
Bir yerden öbürüne gidersin; 
Beni buraya kadar getirdin, 
Kah neşeli, kah sessiz, 
Ben şimdi devam etmeyi göze almak istiyorum, 
Ne olursa olsun.

Kendimi bedbaht görmemeliyim 
Çünkü biricik sevdiğim bana el salladı; 
Aşk benim helak olmama izin vermeyecektir 
Bu hayat son buluncaya kadar.
Hayır, bu akış hep daha rahat olacak, 
Gökkubbe benim için hep bulutsuz kalacak , 
Neşeli kürek çekişiyle ilerlemeye devam ediyorum, 
Aşkı ve hayatı birlikte mezara kadar taşıyacağım.
