Da meine lippen reglos sind und brennen

Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE ITA
Da meine lippen reglos sind und brennen
Beacht ich erst wohin mein fuss geriet:
In andrer herren prächtiges gebiet.
Noch war vielleicht mir möglich mich zu trennen ·
Da schien es dass durch hohe gitterstäbe
Der blick vor dem ich ohne lass gekniet
Mich fragend suchte oder zeichen gäbe.

Ora che bruciano immote le mie labbra
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
Ora che bruciano immote le mie labbra
considero a che punto è arrivato il mio passo:
nello splendido regno di padroni diversi.
Forse mi sarebbe stato ancora possibile prendere congedo;
prima che, fra le alte inferriate, lo sguardo
davanti al quale caddi in ginocchio,
sembrò farmi cenno e cercarmi insistente.
