So tönet denn, schäumende Wellen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA LIT TUR

So tönet denn, schäumende Wellen,
Und windet euch rund um mich her!
Mag Unglück doch laut um mich bellen,
Erbost sein das grausame Meer!

Ich lache den stürmenden Wettern,
Verachte den Zorngrimm der Flut;
O, mögen mich Felsen zerschmettern!
Denn nimmer wird es gut.

Nicht klag' ich, und mag ich nun scheitern,
Im wäßrigen Tiefen vergehn!
Mein Blick wird sich nie mehr erheitern,
Den Stern meiner Liebe zu sehn.

So wälzt euch bergab mit Gewittern,
Und raset, ihr Stürme, mich an,
Daß Felsen an Felsen zersplittern!
Ich bin ein verlorener Mann.

Gümbürdeyin artık köpüren dalgalar

Language: Turkish (Türkçe) after the German (Deutsch)

Gümbürdeyin artık köpüren dalgalar, 
Sarın hep etrafımı! 
Kötü kader etrafımda tüm gücüyle havlayıp dursun, 
Öfke dolu olsun o zalim deniz !

Fırtınalı havaya gülerim, 
Dalgaların öfkesini küçümserim; 
Ah, kayalar beni paramparça edebilir, 
Zira hiçbir zaman iyiye gidiş olmayacak.

Şikayet etmiyorum, batacak olsam da, 
Denizin dibinde yok olsam da! 
Gözlerim artık hiç parlamayacak 
Sevgilimin yıldızını görmek için. 

Dağların tepesinden çullanın üzerime yıldırımlarla, 
Kudurun kasırgalar,bana karşı
Öyle ki kayalar çarpışıp parçalansın! 
Ben yitik bir adamım.
