Über unsre Liebe hängt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE NOR
Über unsre Liebe hängt
eine tiefe Trauerweide.
Nacht und Schatten um uns beide.
Unsre Stirnen sind gesenkt.
Wortlos sitzen wir im Dunkeln.
Einstmals rauschte hier ein Strom,
einstmals sahn wir Sterne funkeln.
Ist denn Alles tot und trübe?
Horch: -- ein ferner Mund -- vom Dom:
Glockenchöre... Nacht ... und Liebe...

Regard vers le haut
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Au-dessus de notre amour se tient
Un grand saule pleureur.
Nuit et ombre au-dessus de nous à la fois.
Nos fronts sont abaissés.
Sans mots nous sommes assis dans l'obscurité.
Autrefois un ruisseau a murmuré ici,
Autrefois vous avons vu des étoiles scintiller.
Est-ce que tout est mort et lugubre ?
Écoute : -- une voix au loin --
De la cathédrale : --
Chœurs de cloches, de nuit et d'amour.
