Und du kamest in mein Haus
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG FRE
Und du kamest in mein Haus,
kamst mit deinen schwarzen Blicken;
sah ich still die Palmen nicken
und du gabst mir deinen Strauß.
Gabst die zitternden Narzissen,
die wir in der Wüste pflückten;
deine schwarzen Locken schmückten
meines Divans rote Kissen.
Kehre wieder in mein Haus,
laß die wilden Blumen blühen;
unsre junge Lippen glühen,
gieb mir, gieb mir deinen Strauß . . .

And you came into my house
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
And you came into my house,
came with your black glances;
quietly I saw the palms nodding
and you gave me your bouquet.
Gave me the trembling narcissi
that we had picked in the desert;
your black curls adorned
the red pillows of my divan.
Return again into my house,
let the wild flowers blossom;
our young lips burn,
give me, give me your bouquet . . .
