Rastlose Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch)
[Dem]1 Schnee, [dem]1 Regen, Dem Wind entgegen, Im Dampf der Klüfte, Durch Nebeldüfte, Immer zu! Immer zu! Ohne Rast und Ruh! Lieber durch Leiden [Möcht']2 ich mich schlagen, Als so viel Freuden Des Lebens ertragen. Alle das Neigen [Von]3 Herzen zu Herzen, Ach wie so eigen Schaffet [das]4 Schmerzen! Wie soll ich [fliehen?]5 Wälderwärts [ziehen?]6 [Alles]7 vergebens! Krone des Lebens, Glück ohne Ruh, Liebe, bist du!

Amor sem descanso
Language: Portuguese (Português) after the German (Deutsch)
Enfrentando a neve, a chuva, O vento, Na humidade dos abismos Através do odor da névoa, Sempre! Sempre! Sem descanso! Prefiro bater-me Antes no sofrimento, A suportar Muitas alegrias da vida. Toda a inclinação De coração para coração Ah, como é próprio Produz a dor! Como hei-de fugir? Ir para a floresta? Tudo em vão! Coroa da vida, Felicidade sem descanso, És tu, amor!
