Original text and translations
German text
- Flammenauge, dunkles Haar,
- Knabe wonnig und verwogen,
- Kummer ist durch dich hinein
- in mein armes Herz gezogen!
- Kann in Eis der Sonne Brand,
- sich in Nacht der Tag verkehren?
- Kann die heisse Menschenbrust
- atmen ohne Glutbegehren?
- Ist die Flur so voller Licht,
- daß die Blum' im Dunkel stehe?
- Ist die Welt so voller Lust,
- daß das Herz in Qual vergehe?
- German text by Georg Friedrich Daumer (1800-1875)
- Based on a text in Russian by Anonymous/Unidentified Artist, [text unavailable]
English translation
- Flaming eyes, dark hair,
- sweet and audacious boy,
- because of you my poor heart
- toils with sorrow!
- Can the sun's fire make ice,
- or turn day into night?
- Can the ardent breast of a man
- breathe without glowing desire?
- Is the field so full of light
- that the flowers stand in darkness?
- Is the world so full of joy
- that the heart is abandoned to torment?
