Angst und hoffen wechselnd mich...
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE ITA
Angst und hoffen wechselnd mich beklemmen ·
Meine worte sich in seufzer dehnen ·
Mich bedrängt so ungestümes sehnen
Dass ich mich an rast und schlaf nicht kehre
Dass mein lager tränen schwemmen
Dass ich jede freude von mir wehre
Dass ich keines freundes trost begehre.

Peur et espoir tour à tour m'oppressent
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Peur et espoir tour à tour m'oppressent,
Mes paroles se prolongent en soupirs,
Un désir ardent si violent me presse,
Que je ne me soucie ni de repos ni de sommeil,
Que ma couche est rincée par les larmes,
Que je n'oppose aucune joie en moi,
Que je ne désire aucune consolation d'amis.
