Mondestrunken

Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)

Our translations: CHI ENG FRE ITA NYN

Den Wein, den man mit Augen trinkt,
Gießt Nachts der Mond in Wogen nieder,
Und eine Springflut überschwemmt
Den stillen Horizont.

Gelüste schauerlich und süß,
Durchschwimmen ohne Zahl die Fluten!
Den Wein, den man mit Augen trinkt,
Gießt Nachts der Mond in Wogen nieder.

Der Dichter, den die Andacht treibt,
Berauscht sich an dem heilgen Tranke,
Gen Himmel wendet er verzückt
Das Haupt und taumelnd saugt und schlürft er
Den Wein, den man mit Augen trinkt.

Månefull

Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk) after the German (Deutsch)

Vinen, som ein berre drikk med augo
kjem frå månen, bølgjande i natta
og ei springflo fløymer over
den stille horisonten.

Lyster, fælslege og søte
sym i hopetal gjennom flaumen!
Vinen som ein berre drikk med augo
kjem frå månen, bølgjande i natta.

Poeten, han som søkjer age
rusar seg på heilag drikk
ser mot himmelen og i ekstase
svaiar, sug og slurpar i seg
vinen som ein berre drikk med augo.
