Im Sturme

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

Bangt dir, mein Lieb? -- Ich bin ja bei dir!
Es braust das Meer und der Himmel ist dunkel. 
Siehst du [des Leuchtthurms magisch] Gefunkel? 
Bangt dir, mein Lieb? 

Bangt dir, mein Lieb? -- [Ich bin ja bei dir!]²
Die Wogen donnern, der Himmel erzittert! 
Ärmlicher Nachen! bist balde zersplittert! --
Bangt dir, mein Lieb? -- 
                        "Du bist ja bei mir!"

In a storm

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Are you afraid, my love? I am with you!
The sea roars and the sky is dark
Do you see [the glow of the lighthouse]¹?
Are you afraid, my love? 

Are you afraid, my love? [I am with you!]²
The waves thunder, the sky trembles!
Wretched skiff soon to be splintered! --
Are you afraid, my love? --
                           "You are here with me!"
