Die Ersehnte

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: DUT ENG FRE

Brächte dich meinem Arm der nächste Frühling!
Tönten Vögel aus Blüten mir das Brautlied,
Dann, dann hätt' ich Seliger
Schon auf Erden Wonne des Himmels.

Wonne! sie wird mir Paradiese zaubern!
Wird lustwandeln mit mir in Gärten Gottes,
Wird in meinen Armen gewiegt
Den Frühlingsabend beflügeln.

Komm, dich rufet die Sehnsuchtsträn' im Auge!
Dich dies wallende Herz voll süßer Ahndung,
Trübe floß' mein Leben,
O Himmelsbotin, komm, es zu heitern.

Si le prochain printemps te menait dans...

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

Si le prochain printemps te menait dans mes bras !
Si les oiseaux dans les fleurs chantaient mes noces,
Alors, alors, bienheureux, je goûterais déjà
Sur terre aux délices du paradis.

Délices ! Elle me fera apparaître des paradis !
Aura plaisir à se promènera avec moi dans les jardins de dieu,
Sera bercée dans mes bras,
Donnera des ailes aux soirs de printemps.

Viens, ces larmes de langueur dans mes yeux t'appellent !
Et ce cœur bouillonnant empli d'un doux pressentiment,
La confusion inondait ma vie,
Ô messagère du ciel, viens l'éclaircir.
