Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE ITA
Als wir hinter dem beblümten tore
Endlich nur das eigne hauchen spürten
Warden uns erdachte seligkeiten?
Ich erinnere dass wie schwache rohre
Beide stumm zu beben wir begannen
Wenn wir leis nur an uns rührten
Und dass unsre augen rannen –
So verbliebest du mir lang zu seiten.

Quando finalmente, alle spalle del cancello fiorito
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
Quando finalmente, alle spalle del cancello fiorito,
restammo in ascolto solo del nostro respiro,
si inverò forse la felicità sognata?
Rammento solo che come deboli canne
tutti e due, muti, iniziammo a tremare
non appena iniziammo a sfiorarci piano,
e che i nostri occhi non trattennero il pianto -
Così mi rimanesti per lungo tempo accanto.
