Über die See
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE
Über die See,
Fern über die See,
Ist mein Schatz gezogen,
[Ist]1 mein Herz
Voll Ach und Weh,
Bang ihm nachgeflogen.
Brauset das Meer,
Wild brauset das Meer,
Stürme dunkel jagen,
[Sinkt]2 die Sonn',
Die Welt wird leer,
Muß mein Herz verzagen.
Bin ich allein,
Ach, immer allein,
Meine Kräfte schwinden.
[Muß]3 zurück
In matter Pein,
Kann dich nimmer finden.

Sur la mer
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Sur la mer,
Loin sur la mer
Mon trésor est parti,
Mon cœur est
Plein de chagrin,
Et s'est envolé après lui plein de crainte.
La mer fait rage,
La mer fait rage sauvagement,
Les tempêtes chassent sombrement,
Le soleil a disparu,
Le monde devient vide,
Mon cœur se désespère.
je suis seule,
Hélas, toujours seule,
Mes forces disparaissent;
Je dois revenir
Rompue de douleur,
Je ne pourrai jamais te trouver.
