Trost

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA

Nimmer lange weil' ich hier,
Komme bald hinauf zu dir;
Tief und still fühl' ich's in mir:
Nimmer lange weil' ich hier.

Komme bald hinauf zu dir,
Schmerzen, Qualen, für und für
Wüthen in dem Busen mir;
Komme bald hinauf zu dir.

Tief und still fühl' ich's in mir:
Eines heißen Dranges Gier
Zehrt die Flamm' im Innern hier,
Tief und still fühl' ich's in mir.

Nimmer lange weil' ich hier,
Komme bald hinauf zu dir;
Tief und still fühl' ich's in mir:
Nimmer lange weil' ich hier.

Comfort

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Not much longer shall I tarry here,
Soon I shall rise up to you;
Deeply and quietly I feel it within me:
Not much longer shall I tarry here,

Soon I shall rise up to you;
Pain, agony, forever and ever
Rage within my bosom;
Soon I shall rise up to you.

Deeply and quietly I feel it within me:
The craving of a fervent compulsion
Saps the flame here inside [me],
Deeply and quietly I feel it within me.

Not much longer shall I tarry here,
Soon I shall rise up to you;
Deeply and quietly I feel it within me:
Not much longer shall I tarry here.
