So tönet denn, schäumende Wellen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA LIT TUR

So tönet denn, schäumende Wellen,
Und windet euch rund um mich her!
Mag Unglück doch laut um mich bellen,
Erbost sein das grausame Meer!

Ich lache den stürmenden Wettern,
Verachte den Zorngrimm der Flut;
O, mögen mich Felsen zerschmettern!
Denn nimmer wird es gut.

Nicht klag' ich, und mag ich nun scheitern,
Im wäßrigen Tiefen vergehn!
Mein Blick wird sich nie mehr erheitern,
Den Stern meiner Liebe zu sehn.

So wälzt euch bergab mit Gewittern,
Und raset, ihr Stürme, mich an,
Daß Felsen an Felsen zersplittern!
Ich bin ein verlorener Mann.

Abejonė

Language: Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalba) after the German (Deutsch)

Tai gauskit, putojančios bangos,
Verpetais aplinkui mane!
Lai skelbia nelaimes ir skausmą,
Žiauriausioji jūros daina!

Juokiuos iš audringųjų vėjų,
Nepaisau tūžmingos srovės.
Suspaust mane uolos galėtų!
Nes laimė negrįš, nebešvies.

Neraudu, tik noriu pradingti,
Nugrimzti tamsybėn gelmės!
Nes meilės žvaigždės mano akys,
Išvysti daugiau negalės.

Tad lėkit žemyn, lyg paklaikę
Užgriūkite, vėjai, mane,
Kad uolos sudužtų kaip stiklas!
Aš – žuvęs žmogus audroje.
