Sprich, hörst Du über der Haiden
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
[Sprich]1, hörst Du über der Haiden
Der sausenden Renner Gestampf?
Die Schwerter blinken und Scheiden,
Der Feldstaub wirbelt wie Dampf.
Du schmiegst Dich in zärtlichem Bangen
Verzagend an meine Brust --
Ich halte Dich schützend umfangen,
Du meiner Augen Lust!

Listen, do you hear upon the heath
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
[Speak]1, do you hear the rushing runners
Stamping upon the heath?
The swords and sheaths are gleaming,
The dust of the field swirls like mist.
In tender anxiousness you nestle up
To my breast despairingly --
I hold you in a protective embrace,
You, the delight of my eyes!
