Déception
Language: French (Français)
Le soleil rayonnait encore. J'ai voulu revoir les grands bois, Où nous promenions autrefois Notre amour à sa belle aurore. Je mi disais: "Sur le chemin, Je la retrouverai, sans doute: Ma main se tendra vers sa main, Et nous nous remettrons en route." Je regarde partout. En vain! J'appelle! Et Vécho seul m'écoute! O le pauvre soleil pâli! O les pauvres bois sans ramage! O, mon pauvre amour, quel dommage! Si vite perdu dans l'oubli!

Enttäuschung
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Als voll Strahlen noch stand die Sonne, wollt ich wiedersehn unsern Hain, wo wir einstmals gingen zu zwein, noch im Frühling, voll Liebeswonne. Ich dachte mir: Auf diesem Weg, da werde ich sie wieder finden, dann gehn wir nochmal jenen Steg, den Steg unter dem Laub der Linden. Und ich sah den vertrauten Weg, doch nirgends, nirgends war sie zu finden! Und die Sonne erschien verblaßt. O ihr schönen, wonnigen Stunden! Seid ihr nun für immer entschwunden und blieb nur das Weh und die Last?
From a Tchaikovsky score.
