Alfonsos Cavatina

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: DUT ENG FRE ITA

Wenn ich dich, Holde, sehe,
So glaub' ich keinen Schmerz,
Schon deine bloße Nähe
Beseligt dieses Herz.

Die Leiden sind zerronnen,
Die sonst die Brust gequält,
Es leuchten tausend Sonnen
Der lustentbrannten Welt.

Und neue Kräfte blitzen
Ins trunkne Herz hinein,
Ja, ich will dich beschützen,
Ich will dein Diener sein.

Cavatine

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

Quand je te vois, mon amour,
Je ne crois à aucune douleur,
Déjà ta simple proximité
Ravit ce cœur.

Les chagrins se sont estompés,
Eux qui tourmentaient mon cœur,
Un millier de soleils illuminent
Le monde qui brille de plaisir.

Et de nouvelles forces
Dans mon cœur ivre,
Oui, je te protégerai,
Je serai ton serviteur.
