In jener Zeit, da ich dich nicht mehr...

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE

In jener Zeit, da ich dich nicht mehr nannte,
Schuf ich ein Weihgefäß aus edler Erde,
Und barg darin, die einst an dir entbrannte,
Die Flamme, daß sie rein gehütet werde.
Von der empfangnen Brunst errötend bebte
Das Weihgefäß, doch sprang es nicht entzwei.
Kein Funken meiner Liebesglut entschwebte!
Nun nimm es du, daß es dir heilig sei.

En ce temps où je ne pouvais plus te nommer

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

En ce temps où je ne pouvais plus te nommer,
D'une terre précieuse, je fis un vase sacré,
Et y cachai cette flamme qui un jour s'embrasa de toi,
Pour qu'elle fût gardée immaculée.
Le vase sacré, rougissant de la chaleur accueillie
Trembla, mais n'éclata pas en morceaux.
Aucune étincelle de mon ardeur amoureuse ne s'en échappa !
Maintenant prends-le, qu'il te soit sacré.
