Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Küsse, die man stiehlt im Dunkeln
Language: German (Deutsch)
Küsse, die man stiehlt im Dunkeln
Und im Dunkeln wiedergibt,
Solche Küsse, wie beselgen
Sie die Seele, wenn sie liebt!
Ahnend und erinnrungsüchtig
Denkt die Seele sich dabei
Manches von vergangnen Tagen,
Und von Zukunft mancherlei.
Doch das gar zu viele Denken
Ist bedenklich, wenn man küßt; -
Weine lieber, liebe Seele,
Weil das Weinen leichter ist.

Baisers, que l'on vole dans le noir
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Baisers, que l'on vole dans le noir,
Et que l'on rend dans le noir,
De tels baisers, comme ils comblent
L'âme quand elle aime !
Entre pressentiments et souvenirs,
L'âme s'imagine à la fois
Diverses choses des jours passés
Et d'autres des jours futurs.
Mais avoir trop de ces pensées
Quand on embrasse est inquiétant ;
Il vaut mieux pleurer, chère âme,
Car pleurer est plus facile.
