Stimme der Liebe

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Meine Selinde! denn mit Engelstimme
Singt die Liebe mir zu: sie wird die Deine!
[Wird]¹ die Meine! Himmel und Erde schwinden!
Meine Selinde!

Thränen der Sehnsucht, die auf blassen Wangen
Bebten, fallen herab als Freudenthränen!
Denn mir tönt die himmlische Stimme: deine
Wird sie! die Deine!

La voix de l'amour

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

Ma Sélinde ! Avec une voix d'ange l'amour me chante :
Elle sera à toi ! Elle sera à moi !
Le ciel et la terre disparaissent !
Ma Sélinde !

Des larmes de désirs qui tremblent sur des joues pâles
Tombent comme des larmes de joie !
Car la voix céleste me chante :
Elle sera à toi, à toi !
