Ich saß zu deinen Füßen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA SPA
Ich saß zu deinen Füßen
In Waldeseinsamkeit;
Windesatmen, Sehnen
Ging durch die Wipfel breit.
In stummen Ringen senkt' ich
Das Haupt in deinen Schoß,
Und meine bebenden Hände
Um deine Knie ich schloß.
Die Sonne ging hinunter,
Der Tag verglühte all,
Ferne, ferne, ferne
Sang eine Nachtigall.

Dans la solitude de la forêt
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
J'étais assis à tes pieds
Dans la solitude de la forêt ;
Le souffle du vent, un désir ardent,
Allait à travers la cime des arbres.
Dans une lutte silencieuse je posais
Ma tête sur tes genoux
Et mes mains tremblantes
Se fermèrent sur eux.
Le soleil se couchait,
le jour perdait son éclat.
Loin, loin, au loin,
Chantait un rossignol.
