Over the mountains the sun casts his fire

Text by Heinrich Heine (1797-1856)
Translated into English by Joseph Massaad 

deutsch - français


Over the mountains the sun casts his fire,
The lambs bells, in the distance, ring low;
My love, my lamb, my sun and my desire,
I wish to see you before I go!

I gaze up high with wondering eyes.
Farewell, my child, from here I must wander!
In vain! the curtain is still. She lies
And dreams of me, in her slumber?
