Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Hochgetürmte Rimaflut,
Wie bist du so trüb;
An dem Ufer klag ich
Laut nach dir, mein Lieb!
Wellen fliehen, Wellen strömen,
Rauschen an dem Strand heran zu mir.
An dem Rimaufer laß mich
Ewig weinen nach ihr!

High‑towering River Rima
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
High-towering River Rima,
How murky you are;
On the water's edge I lament
Loudly for you, my beloved!
The waves flee, the waves stream by,
Roaring toward me on the shore;
At the edge of the Rima let me
Weep for her forever!
