Leiden der Trennung
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE
Vom Meere trennt sich die Welle,
Und seufzet durch Blumen im Thal,
Und fühlet gewiegt in der Quelle,
Gebannt in dem Brunnen nur - Qual!
[Sie sehnt sich,]1 die Welle,
In lispelnder Quelle,
Im murmelnden Bache,
Im Brunnengemache
Zum Meer, von dem sie kam,
[Aus]2 dem sie Leben nahm,
Von dem, des Irrens matt und müde,
Sie süße Ruh verhofft und Friede.

Douleur de la séparation
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
La vague divise la mer
Et soupire à travers les fleurs dans la vallée,
Et ressent bercée dans le courant,
Ou ensorcelée dans la fontaine, seulement un tourment !
La vague est pleine de nostalgie
Dans la source qui chuchote,
Dans le ruisseau qui murmure,
Dans la vasque d'une fontaine,
Pour la mer d'où elle vient,
Où elle a pris vie,
Où faible et lasse d'errer
Elle espère un doux repos et la paix.
