Herzlieblich Lieb, durch Scheiden

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Herzlieblich Lieb, durch Scheiden hat sich mein Herz verkehrt,
als wär's gen einen Heiden, es wär doch viel zu hart.
Damit es mir entfremdet ist;
recht war es nimmer mein,
und blieb doch stete dein.

Ja, bringt mir das nicht Schmerzen, so kann ich Leid verstahn,
ich scheid ohn Trost vom Herzen und muß doch Liebes lan,
das ich nicht mag begeben durch Lust,
Freud oder Not, ohn End bin ich in dem Tod.

Lovely love, due to parting

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Lovely love, due to parting my heart has turned.
If it were against a heathen, it still would be too hard.
So my heart is estranged to me;
It never quite was mine,
and remained constantly yours.

Yes, doesn't that bring me pain? So now I understand woe.
I part without solace from the heart, and indeed must leave what I love,
what I don't want to give for joy,
delight, or distress. I am without aim, I am doomed.
