Sterne im Wasser
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CHI
Weiß im Mondlicht träumt der Hafen,
Ruderschlag in weiter Ferne,
Meine müden Segel schlafen,
Und im Wasser steh'n die Sterne,
Selig blinkend.
Langsam regen sich die Maste,
Stumm zum Meere zieh'n die Wellen;
Was ich liebte, was ich haßte,
Wandert von mir auf dem hellen,
Blanken Wasser.
Erst der Tod löst alle Qualen,
Erst der Tod bricht alle Riegel,
Deines Glückes Sterne strahlen
Spät zur Nacht erst auf dem Spiegel
Deiner Seele.

水中群星
Language: Chinese (中文)  after the German (Deutsch)
银色月光笼罩海港,
等待很久才须划桨,
劳累不堪征帆入睡,
水中群星熠熠闪亮,
幸福眨眼。
只见桅杆缓缓移动,
静静掀起海上波浪;
我所欢喜我所仇恨,
离我而去走向波光,
水面宽广。
惟有离去解除痛苦,
惟有离去冲破牢房,
幸运之星当空照耀
深夜灵魂映在镜上
你的灵魂。
