1. My Love

Robert Burns (1759-96):

A Red, Red Rose (1794)

 

1. My Love is like a red, red rose

so newly sprung in June!

My Love is like the melody

so sweetly played in tune!

 

2. As beautiful you are, my lass,

so deep in love am I.

And I will love you still, my dear,

till all the seas go dry.

 

3. Till all the seas go dry, my dear,

and rocks melt with the sun,

And I will love you still, my dear,

while sands of life shall run.

 

4. And fare you well, my only Love,

and fare you well a while!

And I will come again, my Love,

Were it ten thousand mile!

2. Poème d. Amour

Alfred de Musset (1810-1857)

 

Je suis perdu, vois-tu,

je suis noyé,

inondé d'amour;

je ne sais plus si je vis,

si je mange,

si je respire,

si je parle;
je sais que je t'aime.

3. Zwei Verliebte Seelen

Aus: Des Knaben Wunderhorn 1805-1808

 

Keine Rose, keine Nelke kann blühen so schön,

Als wenn zwei verliebte Seelen beisammen tun steh'n.

 

Kein Feuer, keine Kohle kann brennen so heiß,

Als zärtliche Liebe von der niemand weiß.

 

Setz du mir einen Spiegel ins Herze hinein,

Damit du kannst schauen, wie treu ich es mein.
