Du gabst mir immer wieder

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

"Du gabst mir immer wieder
Dein Herz und deine Lieder,
Ich nahm sie sorglos hin.
Nun muß ich dich betrüben:
Ich [darf]¹ dich [nicht mehr]² lieben,
Weil ich nicht dein mehr bin."

"Und liebst du einen andern,
[Will]³ ich ins Weite wandern,
Mir wird so enge hier.
Wie schmerzlich blüht der Flieder!
Mein Herz und meine Lieder,
[Ich lasse sie bei dir]⁴."

Dialogue

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

« Encore et encore, tu me donnas
Ton cœur et tes chansons,
Je les ai acceptés sans souci.
Il me faut maintenant te peiner :
Je ne puis plus t'aimer,
Car je ne suis plus tienne. »

« Si tu en aimes un autre,
Je vais voyager au loin,
On est tant à l'étroit ici.
Comme les fleurs du lilas font mal !
Mon cœur et mes chansons,
Je les laisse auprès de toi. »
