Hat dich die Liebe berührt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG FRE
Hat dich die Liebe berührt,
Still unterm lärmenden Volke
Gehst du in goldner Wolke,
Sicher [vom Gotte]1 geführt.
Nur wie verloren, umher
Lässest die Blicke du wandern,
Gönnst ihre Freuden den Andern,
Trägst nur nach einem Begehr.
Scheu in dich selber verzückt,
Möchtest du [hehlen]2 vergebens,
Daß nun die Krone des Lebens
Strahlend die Stirn dir schmückt.

Si l'amour t'a touché
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Si l'amour t'a touché,
Silencieux parmi les peuples bruyants
Tu vas sur un nuage d'or,
Sûr d'être conduit par Dieu.
Comme perdu, alentour
Tu laisses vagabonder ton regard,
Sans envier la joie des autres,
Tu n'es porté que par un désir.
Effarouché par l'extase qui est en toi
Tu voudrais nier en vain
Que maintenant la couronne de la vie
T'orne le front de ses rayons.
