Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962)
Jetzt kannst du's nimmer hören
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE
Jetzt kannst du's nimmer hören,
Wenn ich mit leisem Strich
Den Bogen an die Saiten leg
Und rufe dich.
Jetzt kannst du's nimmer sehen,
Wenn spät nach Mitternacht
Mein Ämplein noch bei Blatt und Stift
Im Erker wacht.
Und kannst die schönen, weißen
Teerosen, die im Garten stehn
Und die ich noch für dich gepflanzt,
Auch nimmer sehn.
Und doch, wenn meine Geige
Allein noch wach im Hause ist,
Verspür ich's oft, daß du, mein Lieb,
Mir nahe bist.

Maintenant jamais plus tu ne pourras...
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Maintenant jamais plus tu ne pourras entendre
Quand d'un mouvement léger
Je posais l'archet sur les cordes
Et t'appelais.
Maintenant jamais plus tu ne pourras voir
Quand longtemps après minuit
Ma petite lampe, près de la feuille et du crayon,
Veillait dans l'oriel.
Et les belles et blanches
Roses thé qui sont dans le jardin
Et que j'avais encore plantées pour toi
Jamais non plus tu ne pourras les voir.
Et pourtant, quand mon violon
Seul veille encore dans la maison,
Je sens souvent, mon amour,
Que tu es près de moi.
