Gelb rollt mir zu Füßen der brausende...
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Azerbaijani (Azərbaycan dili)
Gelb rollt mir zu Füßen der brausende Kur,
im tanzenden Wellengetriebe,
hell lächelt die Sonne, mein Herz und die Flur,
o wenn es doch immer so bliebe.
Rot funkelt im Glas der kachetische Wein,
es füllt mir das Glas meine Liebe,
und ich saug' mit dem Wein ihre Blicke ein,
o wenn es doch immer so bliebe.
Die Sonne geht unter, schon dunkelt die Nacht,
doch mein Herz, gleich dem Sterne der Liebe,
flammt im tiefsten Dunkel, in hellster Pracht,
o wenn es doch immer so bliebe.
In das schwarze Meer deiner Augen rauscht,
der reißende Strom meiner Liebe;
komm, Mädchen, es dunkelt, und niemand lauscht,
o wenn es doch immer so bliebe.

Golden swells at my feet the rushing...
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Golden swells at my feet the rushing Kura River
In the dancing bustle of the waves,
The sun smiles brightly, as do my heart and the meadow,
Oh, that it would ever remain thus!
The Kakhetian wine sparkles red in the glass,
My glass is filled by my beloved,
And with the wine I draw in her glances as well,
Oh,that it would ever remain thus!
The sun is sinking, already night is darkening,
But my heart, like the star of love,
Flames in the deepest darkness, in brightest splendour.
Oh, that it would ever remain thus!
Into the black sea of your eyes rushes
The raging river of my love;
Come, maiden, it is getting dark and no one is eavesdropping.
Oh, that it would ever remain thus!
