Da meine lippen reglos sind und brennen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE ITA
Da meine lippen reglos sind und brennen
Beacht ich erst wohin mein fuss geriet:
In andrer herren prächtiges gebiet.
Noch war vielleicht mir möglich mich zu trennen ·
Da schien es dass durch hohe gitterstäbe
Der blick vor dem ich ohne lass gekniet
Mich fragend suchte oder zeichen gäbe.

Ici mes lèvres sont immobiles et brûlent
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Ici mes lèvres sont immobiles et brûlent,
Je considère d'abord où mon pied est arrivé :
Dans le territoire merveilleux d'un autre maître.
Cependant c'était peut-être possible pour moi de me détacher ;
Là il brillait, à travers les hauts barreaux,
Le regard, devant lequel j'étais agenouillé sans cesse,
Me cherchait interrogatif ou me faisait signe.
