Mit Dir zu schweigen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Mit Dir zu schweigen still im Dämmerschein,
Die Seele an der Träume Schoß gelehnt -
Ist Lauschen ew'gen Melodei'n,
Ist Liebe ohne End'...

Mit Dir zu schweigen in der Dämmerzeit,
Ist Schweben nach der Welten großer Fülle,
Ist Wachsen weit in die Unendlichkeit,
Entrückt in ewige Stille...

To be silent with you

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

To be silent with you in the hush of dawn,
our souls resting in the lap of dreams,
is to listen to eternal melodies;
it is love without end.

To be silent with you in the twilight
is to float toward the overabundance of worlds;
it is to expand far into infinity,
transported in eternal silence...
