O byl to krásný, zlatý
Language: Czech (Čeština)
Available translation(s): ENG
O byl to krásný, zlatý sen, Jejž spolu jsme tam snili! Ach, škoda, že tak krátký jen, Byl sen ten přespanilý. Tak sladká touha v bytosti Se celé uhostila A při loučení žalosti Se slza dostavila. A často chodím na horu A za tebou se dívám, Však po dalekém obzoru Jen žal svůj rozesílám!

Es war der allerschönste Traum
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Czech (Čeština)
Es war der allerschönste Traum, Den wir vereint gefunden! Ach ach schade, dass so kurz er war Und so schnell dahin geschwunden. Liebliches Sehnen füllt die Brust Im Wonnegefühl so leicht Beim Abschied jedoch dahin die Lust Und das Auge so feucht. Ich gehe oft den Berg hinauf, Mein Aug' will dich erspähen, Doch trostlos ist der Horizont, Ich klag' nur Schmerz den fernen Höhen!
