Original text and translations

German text

Nun, ihr Musen, genug!

Vergebens strebt ihr zu schildern,

wie sich Jammer und Glück

wechseln in liebender Brust.

Heilen könnet die Wunden

ihr nicht, die Amor geschlagen,

aber Linderung kommt einzig,

ihr Guten, von euch.

German text by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)

English translation

Now, you Muses, enough!

In vain you strive to describe

how misery and happiness

alternate in a loving breast.

You cannot heal the wounds

that Amor has caused,

but solace can come

only from you, Kindly Ones.
