Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

Noch ahnst du nichts vom Herbst des Haines,
drin lichte Mädchen lachend gehn;
nur manchmal küßt wie fernes, feines
Erinnern dich der Duft des Weines, -
sie lauschen, und es singt wohl eines
ein wehes Lied vom Wiedersehn.

In leiser Duft dir Ranken schwanken,
wie wenn wer Abschied winkt. - Am Pfad
stehn alle Rosen in Gedanken;
sie sehen ihren Sommer kranken,
und seine hellen Hände sanken
leise von seiner reifen Tat.

Tu ne pressens encore rien

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

Tu ne pressens encore rien de l'automne dans les bois,
où de lumineuses jeunes filles vont en riant ;
seul parfois t'embrasse, comme un lointain, ténu
Souvenir, le parfum du vin --
elles écoutent, et l'une d'elles chante
un douloureux chant d'au‑revoir.

Dans les doux parfums les vignes te frôlent,
comme pour prendre congé. -- sur le sentier
toutes les roses sont pensives ;
elles voient leur été malade,
et ses mains lumineuses retomber
doucement de ses fruits à maturité.
