Hatem
Dies zu deuten bin erbötig!
Hab ich dir nicht oft erzählt,
Wie der Doge von Venedig
Mit dem Meere sich vermählt?
So von deinen Fingergliedern
Fiel der Ring dem Euphrat zu.
Ach, zu tausend [Himmelsliedern]1,
Süßer Traum, begeisterst du!
Mich, der von des Indostanen
Streifte bis Damaskus hin,
Um mit neuen Karawanen
Bis ans rote Meer zu ziehn,
Mich vermählst du deinem Fluße,
Der Terrasse diesem Hain:
Hier soll bis zum letzten Kuße
Dir mein Geist gewidmet sein.

Je suis prêt à te l'indiquer !
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Hatem :
Je suis prêt à te l'indiquer !
Ne t'ai-je pas souvent raconté
Comment le doge de Venise
S'est marié avec la mer ?
Ainsi de ton doigt
L'anneau est tombé dans l'Euphrate.
Ah ! mille chants célestes,
Doux rêve, tu m'inspires !
Moi qui des Indes
Ai erré jusqu'à Damas;
Et avec de nouvelles caravanes
Suis allé jusqu'à la mer rouge,
Tu m'as marié à ton fleuve,
À la terrasse de ce bosquet :
Ici jusqu'au dernier baiser
Mon âme te sera dédiée.
