Verriet mein blasses Angesicht
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): FRE
Verriet mein blasses Angesicht Dir nicht mein Liebeswehe? Und willst du, daß der stolze Mund Das Bettelwort gestehe? O, dieser Mund ist viel zu stolz, Und kann nur küssen und scherzen; Er spräche vielleicht ein höhnisches Wort, Während ich sterbe vor Schmerzen.

Mon pâle visage ne te révèle‑t‑il pas
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Mon pâle visage ne te révèle-t-il pas La douleur de mon amour? Et veux-tu que ma bouche fière Le concède avec des accents de mendiant? Ô, cette bouche est bien trop fière Et ne peut qu'embrasser et plaisanter. Peut-être pourrait-elle être ironique Tandis que je meurs de douleur.
