by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Der Mond ist aufgegangen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Der Mond ist aufgegangen
Und überstrahlt die [Welln]1;
Ich halte mein Liebchen umfangen,
Und unsre Herzen [schwelln]2.

Im Arm des holden Kindes
Ruh' ich allein am Strand;
"Was horchst du beim Rauschen des Windes?
Was zuckt deine weiße Hand?"

""Das ist kein Rauschen des Windes,
Das ist der Seejungfern [Gesang]3,
Und meine Schwestern sind es,
Die einst das Meer verschlang.""
