Otto Roquette (1824 - 1896)
In der Fremde
Language: German (Deutsch)
Nun steigt der Rebenblüthe Duft
Von allen Hügeln nieder.
Nun rauschen durch die blaue Luft
Die goldnen Klänge wieder;
Die Klänge aus der schönen Zeit --
Das ist ein Weh und Herzeleid,
Daß ich nun ferne bin!
O schöner Strom, o blüh'ndes Thal,
Du wandernde Frühlingssonne,
Gieb mir nur noch ein Einzigmal
Den Becher jener Wonne!
Die ganze Seele dürstet hier,
Und jede Stunde kündet mir,
Daß ich nun ferne bin!

In foreign lands
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Now the scent of the vineyards’ blossoms
Descends from all the hills.
Now the golden sounds again
Rush through the blue air;
The sounds from the lovely time --
It is a woe and and a heartbreak
That I am now so far away!
Oh lovely river, oh blossoming valley,
You wandering spring sun,
Give me only just once more
The goblet of that bliss!
My entire soul is thirsting here,
And every hour proclaims to me
That I am now so far away!
