Wenn sich leis dein Fächer rührt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wenn sich leis dein Fächer rührt
Duftet es wie Nachtviolen,
Wie der Blüte Atemholen,
Die den Kuß des Mondes spürt;
Märchenlande, lichtumflossen,
Liegen golden [mir]1 erschlossen,
Wenn sich leis dein Fächer rührt.
Wenn er schaukelt, wenn er schwebt,
Wundersam mein Herz [erbebt]2,
Vor dem leichten Hauche schwanken
Meine trotzigsten Gedanken,
Und die roten Feuerfunken
Wirbeln durcheinander trunken,
Wenn sich leis dein Fächer rührt.

When your fan moves quietly
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
When your fan moves quietly
There is a scent of violets,
Like the breathing of a blossom
That feels the kiss of the moon;
Fairy-tale lands, engulfed by light,
Golden, lie revealed before me,
When your fan moves quietly.
When it moves to and fro, when it hovers,
[My heart trembles wondrously]1,
My most froward thoughts
Sway before the light breath [of your fan],
And the red sparks of fire
Whirl intoxicatedly in confusion,
When your fan moves quietly.
