Zwei Kammern hat das Herz
Language: German (Deutsch)
Zwei Kammern hat das Herz,
Als ich noch jung ging zu wandern,
Da trug ich in einer den Schmerz,
Die Freude doch in der andern.
Nun alt und zerrissen mein Herz,
Da trag' ich zu meinem Leide
In beiden, in beiden den Schmerz,
In keiner, keiner mehr Freude.

Two chambers has the heart
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Two chambers has the heart,
When I was young and went wandering,
I carried pain in one chamber,
But joy in the other.
Now my heart is old and torn,
And to my sorrow I carry
In both, in both [chambers] pain,
And in neither, neither joy any longer.
