by Friedrich Spielhagen (1829 - 1911)

J'y pense
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG
Ich kenn' ein Mägdelein
Mit blauem Augenschein; 
In dunklen Locken weht ihr Haar,
Ihr Lachen klingt so silberklar -- 
    J'y pense!

O Lust, o Scherz beim Mahl 
Im kühlen Gartensaal! 
Zuletzt Vielliebchen fanden wir:
Das eine mir, das and're dir:
    J'y pense! 

Grüngold'ger Nachmittag 
Im duft'gen Waldeshag! 
Ich nahm aus deiner Hand den Strauß,
Da lachtest du den Träumer aus:
    J'y pense! 

Ach! ich vergaß das Wort;
Nun klag' ich's immerfort.
Das Wort, es raubt mir Fried' und Ruh',
Vielliebes Mädchen, sagst auch du:
    J'y pense?
