Sehnsucht

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FIN FRE

Oft am langen Tage
Seufz' ich, ach! nach dir,
Fühl' ich dich mir nahe,
Sprech ich so mit dir.

In der kühlen Frühe
Aufgewacht zu mir,
Fühl' ich, was uns trennet,
Seufz' ich, ach! nach dir.

Seh' dein Auge schauen
Liebevoll zu mir,
Schaut mich an und weilet
Einen Blick bei mir,

Geht von mir am Tage,
Kommt zurück zu mir,
Wenn ich nach dir klage,
Schweigend und in mir.

Schmerz und Trost der Schmerzen
Bist in einem mir,
Oft am langen Tage
Seufz' ich, ach! nach dir.

Nostalgie

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

Souvent pendant les longs jours
Je soupire, hélas, après toi,
Je sens que tu es près de moi,
Je te parle aussi.

Dans les matins froids
Je m'éveille à moi ,
Je sens ce qui nous sépare,
Je soupire, hélas, après toi.

Je vois tes yeux qui se tournent
Amoureusement vers moi,
Ils me contemplent et posent
Un regard sur moi.

Ils me quittent pendant la journée,
Revenant vers moi,
Quand je pleure après toi,
En silence en moi.

Le chagrin et la consolation du chagrin
Sont tous les deux en moi,
Souvent pendant les longs jours
Je soupire, hélas, après toi.
