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?
