Stimme im Dunkeln
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: FRE
Es klagt im Dunkeln irgendwo. Ich möchte wissen, was es ist. Der Wind klagt wohl die Nacht an. Der Wind klagt aber nicht so nah. Der Wind klagt immer in der Nacht. In meinen Ohren klagt mein Blut, mein Blut wohl. Mein Blut klagt aber nicht so fremd. Mein Blut ist ruhig wie die Nacht. Ich glaub, ein Herz klagt irgendwo.
Note: in stanza 2, line 3, word 3 is "klingt" in the Szymanowski score (probably a typo).
