by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Habe auch, in jungen Jahren
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): FRE
Habe auch, in jungen Jahren, Manches bittre Leid erfahren Von der Liebe Glut. Doch das Holz ist gar zu teuer, Und erlöschen will das Feuer, Ma foi! und das ist gut. Das bedenke, junge Schöne, Schicke fort die dumme Träne, Und den dummen Liebesharm. Ist das Leben dir geblieben, So vergiß das alte Lieben, Ma foi! in meinem Arm.
