Und bist du fern, und bist du weit
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Und bist du [fern, und bist du weit]1, Und zürnst [noch]2 immer mir, Doch Tag und Nacht voll Traurigkeit Ist all mein Sinn bei dir. Ich denk' an deine Augen blau Und an dein Herz dazu -- Ach, keine, keine find' ich je, Die so mich liebt wie du. Wie stand die Welt in Rosen schön, Da ich bei dir noch war, Da rauscht' es grün von allen Höh'n, Da schien der Mond so klar. Du brachst die Ros', ich küßte dich, Ich küßt' und sang dazu: [Wohl]3 keine, keine find' ich je, Die so mich liebt wie du. Wohl bin ich frei nun wie der Falk, Der über die Berge fliegt, Vor dem die Welt, die schöne Welt Hellsonnig offen liegt, Doch hat der Falk sein heimisch Nest, Und wo wird mir einst Ruh? Ach, keine, keine find' ich je, Die so mich liebt wie du. O schlimmer Tag, o schlimme Stund, Die uns für immer schied; Da sind aus meines Herzens Grund Geschieden Freud' und Fried'. Nun such' ich wohl durch Land und See, Und habe nicht Rast noch Ruh; Doch keine, keine find' ich je, Die so mich liebt wie du.
A. Bruné sets stanzas 1-2

Though you be in the distance, and...
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Though you be [in the distance, and though you be far away]1, And though you are [still angry with me]2, Yet day and night, full of sadness, All my spirit is with you. I think of your blue eyes And also of your heart -- Ah, none, none shall I ever find Who loves me as you do. How the world was all roses When I was still with you, The green was rustling from all the heights, The moon was shining so brightly. You picked the rose, I kissed you, I kissed and sang the while. [Truly]3 none, none shall I ever find Who loves me as you do. To be sure I am now free as a falcon Who flies over the mountains, Before whom the world, the beautiful world, Lies open in bright sunshine, But the falcon has his home, his nest, And where shall I someday find rest? Ah, none, none shall I ever find Who loves me as you do. Oh evil day, oh evil hour That parted us forever; Then from the depths of my heart Joy and peace departed. Now I am seeking through land and sea, And have neither rest nor peace; But none, none shall I ever find Who loves me as you do.
