Immer wieder

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Immer wieder steigt es auf:
Wunsch und Leidenschaft und Klage . .
und so gehen deine Tage,
deine Jahre ruhlos hin.

Herz, du töricht-übervolles 
und bedeckt mit tausend Wunden,
wann wirst du aus tiefstem Fühlen 
endlich sagen: heimgefunden . . ?

Ever again . .

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Ever again it surfaces:
Desire and passion and lament . .
and thus your days, your years
pass without rest.

Heart, you foolish-overfull thing
and covered with a thousand wounds,
when from all the deepest feeling will you
finally say: I have found my way home . . ?
