Unruhe

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

An Wunden, schweren,
Langsam verbluten,
In heimlichen Gluten
Still sich verzehren,
Täglich voll Reue
Den Wahnsinn verschwören.
Täglich aufs neue
Sich wieder betören,
Ewig zum Meiden
Die Schritte wenden
Und doch nicht scheiden -
O Lieb', o Leiden,
Wann wirst du enden!

Désordre

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Avec des bessures profondes
Se vider lentement de son sang,
Avec des passions secrètes,
Se consumer en silence,
Jour après jour, empli de remords,
Conspirer avec la folie,
Jour après jour
Être à nouveau séduit,
Fuir éternellement,
Faire demi-tour,
Et pourtant, ne pas se séparer.
Ô amour, ô souffrance,
Quand finirez-vous !
