Ich saß zu deinen Füßen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA SPA
Ich saß zu deinen Füßen
In Waldeseinsamkeit;
Windesatmen, Sehnen
Ging durch die Wipfel breit.
In stummen Ringen senkt' ich
Das Haupt in deinen Schoß,
Und meine bebenden Hände
Um deine Knie ich schloß.
Die Sonne ging hinunter,
Der Tag verglühte all,
Ferne, ferne, ferne
Sang eine Nachtigall.

Nella solitudine del bosco
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
Sedevo ai tuoi piedi
Nella solitudine del bosco;
L'alito del vento e il desiderio
Attraversavano le cime degli alberi.
In muto tormento reclinai allora
Il mio capo sul tuo grembo,
e con mani tremanti
ti circondai i ginocchi.
Il sole stava calando,
e il giorno si consumava ardendo,
lontano, assai lontano,
cantava un usignolo.
