Our translations: ENG

Glaube mir nicht, wenn du aus meinem Munde
Das Wort vernimmst: "ich liebe dich nicht mehr;"
Dem Flieh'n der See in ihrer Ebbestunde
Glaub' nimmer du, harr' ihrer Wiederkehr.

Es schwillt das Herz in Lieb'- und Schmerzensgluthen,
Ich fühle mich [auf's]¹ neu an Dich gebannt,
Und brausend rollen die entwichnen Fluthen 
Zurücke schon zu dem geliebten Strand.

Do not believe me

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Do not believe me when from my mouth
you hear the words "I no longer love you"; 
at the hour of low tide, 
never believe the sea has fled -- await its return.

My heart begins to swell again with love and pained fervor;
As if for the first time, I feel myself spellbound by you,
and the escaping waves roll thunderously back  
again to the beloved shore.
