Am schönen Ostseeufer

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Am schönen Ostseeufer
Nun einsam sitz ich hier,
Die lieben Wellen flüstern,
Sie flüstern mir von dir,
 
Von deiner süßen Stimme,
Von deinem süßern Kuß
Und aus der Ferne bringen
Sie mir der Liebe Gruß.
 
[Noch aber]¹ drüben, wandelt's
Wie Stimmen und Gesang,
Und süßer Schauer wallet
Den stillen Strand entlang.

Au bord de la belle mer Baltique

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Au bord de la belle mer Baltique
Je suis assis seul maintenant,
Les chères vagues chuchotent,
Elles me chuchotent sur toi :

De ta douce voix,
De tes doux baisers,
Et de loin elles m'apportent
Le salut de mon amour.

Près, puis loin, cela va
Comme des voix et un chant,
Et de doux frissons flottent
Le long de la plage tranquille.
