Jetzt und immer

Language: German

Seit wann du mein - ich weiß es [nicht]1;
was weiß das Herz von Zeit und Raum!
Mir ist, als wär's seit gestern erst,
daß du erfülltest meinen Traum,

mir ist, als wär's seit immer schon,
so eigen bist du mir vertraut:
so ewig lange schon mein Weib,
[so]2 immer wieder meine Braut.

Maintenant et toujours

Language: French

Je ne sais depuis quand tu es mienne ;
que sait le cœur du temps et de l'espace !
Pour moi, c'est comme si c'était seulement d'hier
que tu as comblé mes rêves,
pour moi, c'est comme si c'était déjà depuis toujours,
tu as si profondément confiance en moi :
tu es depuis éternellement longtemps ma femme,
tu es sans cesse mon épouse.
