Hvor tindrer nu min Stjerne?

Language: Danish (Dansk)

Our translations: GER

Hvor tindrer nu min Stjerne?
Hvor dølger sig min Skat?
Dig søger i det Fjerne
Min Sjæl ved Dag og Nat.
Dig lokker nu min Stemme;
Jeg veed, Du kommer jo,
Thi aldrig kan Du glemme,
Du skjenked mig din Tro!"

Hver Nat er jo vor Sommer,
Dens Blomster ere vi;
Naar Dagen den kommer,
Er vor Sommer forbi.
O, yndigste Kjærminde!
O, Elskovsrose rød!
I Mulm jeg kan Dig finde,
For din Duft er stærk og sød!"

Wo blinket nun mein Sterne?

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Danish (Dansk)

"Wo blinket nun mein Sterne?
Mein Schatz, wohin gebracht?
Nach dir sucht in der Ferne
Meine Seel' bei Tag und Nacht.
Mein Ruf lockt dich indessen
Ich weiß, du kommst aufs neu',
Denn nie kannst du vergessen,
Du schenkt'st mir deine Treu'!"
 
"Die Nacht ist unser Sommer,
Wie Blumen wir erblüh'n;
Im Tag dann angekommen,
Unser Sommer ist dahin.
Oh, lieblichstes Gedenken!
Oh, Liebesrose mein!
Im Dunkel zu dir lenket
Dein süßer Duft mich heim!"
