Our translations: ENG FRE FRI ITA SPA
Marietta
Glück, das mir verblieb,
rück zu mir, mein treues Lieb.
Abend sinkt im Haag
bist mir Licht und Tag.
Bange pochet Herz an Herz
Hoffnung schwingt sich himmelwärts.
Paul
Wie wahr, ein traurig Lied.
Marietta
Das Lied vom treuen Lieb,
das sterben muss.
Paul
Ich kenne das Lied.
Ich hört es oft in jungen,
in schöneren Tagen.
Es hat noch eine Strophe --
weiß ich sie noch?
Naht auch Sorge trüb,
rück zu mir, mein treues Lieb.
Neig dein blaß Gesicht
Sterben trennt uns nicht.
Mußt du einmal von mir gehn,
glaub, es gibt ein Auferstehn.

Canción de Marietta
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the German (Deutsch)
Marietta
Felicidad que aún me queda,
Acércate a mí, mi fiel amor.
La noche cae sobre la arboleda,
eres mi luz y mi día.
A un solo compás, en angustia, laten corazón y corazón.
La esperanza se evade al cielo.
Paul
Tan verdadera era, esa canción triste.
Marietta
La canción del amor fiel,
que debe morir.
Paul
¡Conozco esa canción!
La oí tanto en la juventud,
en días más hermosos.
Tenía una estrofa…
¿Acaso todavía la sé?
Se acercan la desdicha y sus nubes,
acércate a mí, mi fiel amor.
Muéstrame tu pálida faz,
morir no nos alejará.
Si una vez de mí te irás,
créelo, la resurrección existe.
