Nun ist's nicht öd' in meiner Brust

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Nun ist's nicht öd' in meiner Brust,
und dass du fern bist, kränkt mich nicht;
ich hab' es keck und ernst gewusst,
dass du wirst scheiden.
Nun hast du fort von mir gemusst -
ich will es leiden.
Und dass du mein bist, weiß ich's nicht?

My breast is no longer desolate

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

My breast is no longer desolate,
And the fact you are gone doesn’t grieve me;
I understood clearly and acutely
That you were going to leave.
You needed to get away from me -
I will endure it.
And are you mine? I don’t know.
