Los dos miedos

Language: Spanish (Español)

Our translations: ENG FRE GER

Al comenzar la noche de aquel día,
  ella, lejos de mí,
-- ¿Por qué te acercas tanto? -- Me decía;
    -- ¡Tengo miedo de tí! --

Y después que la noche hubo pasado
  dijo, cerca de mí:
-- ¿Por qué te alejas tanto de mi lado?
    ¡Tengo miedo sin tí! --

Die beiden Ängste

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Spanish (Español)

Als es ward Nacht an jenem Tag,
und sie noch fern von mir -
sprach sie „Warum kommst du mir denn so nah?
Ich habe Angst vor dir!“

Und als die Nacht dann war vergangen,
mir nah, beschwor sie mich,
„Bleib hier. Sollst weiter mich umfangen.
Angst hab ich ohne dich!“
