Meinen Kranz hab' ich gesendet

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Sie (Vom Balcone)
 Meinen Kranz hab' ich gesendet,
 Aber nicht, dich zu beglücken;
 Schweigend sollt' er dir verkünden
 Meiner Seele [bangen]¹ Schmerz.

 Unsre Roße stehn gesattelt,
 Fort nach Schiras eilt der Vater;
 Horch, er ruft! -- Von der Geliebten
 Nimm ein zitternd Lebewohl.

She (From the balcony)

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

She (From the balcony)
I did send my wreath,
But not to make you happy;
Silently it should tell you of
The fearful grief in my soul.

Our horses stand saddled,
My father is hurrying away to Shiraz;
Listen, he's calling! – From your beloved
Take a trembling farewell.
