In meinem Garten die Nelken
Language: German (Deutsch)
In meinem Garten die Nelken mit ihrem Purpurstern [müssen]1 nun alle verwelken, denn [du]2 bist fern. Auf meinem [Herde]3 die Flammen die ich bewacht so gern, [sanken in]4 Asche zusammen, denn [du]2 bist fern. Die Welt ist mir verdorben, mich grüßt nicht [Blume nicht]5 Stern, mein Herz ist [lange]6 gestorben, denn du bist fern.

Dans mon jardin les œillets
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Dans mon jardin les œillets Avec leur étoile pourpre Doivent maintenant être tous fanés car tu es loin. Dans mon âtre, les flammes Que j'aime tant contempler S'enfoncent ensemble dans les cendres car tu es loin. Pour moi le monde est détraqué, Ni les fleurs, ni les étoiles ne me saluent, Mon cœur est mort depuis longtemps, car tu es loin.
