Todos duermen, corazón

Language: Spanish

¡Todos duermen, corazón,

El dolor que habéis cobrado
siempre os terná desvelado,
que él corazón lastimado
recuérdalo la pasión.

Alle gingen, Herz, zur Ruh

Language: German

Alle gingen, Herz, zur Ruh,
alle schlafen, nur nicht du.
Denn der hoffnungslose Kummer
scheucht von deinem Bett den Schlummer,
und dein Sinnen schweift in stummer Sorge
seiner Liebe zu seiner Liebe zu.
