Drei Lieder für 1 Singstimme mit Pianofortebegleitung , opus 11

by Edward Alexander MacDowell (1860 - 1908)

Translations available for the entire opus: ENG 

1. Mein Liebchen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mein Liebchen, wir sassen beisammen,
Traulich im leichten Kahn.
Die Nacht war still, und wir schwammen
Auf weiter Wasserbahn.

Die Geisterinsel, die schöne,
Lag dämm'rig im Mondenglanz;
Dort klangen liebe Töne,
Dort wogte der Nebeltanz.

Dort klang es lieb und lieber,
Und wogt' es hin und her;
Wir aber schwammen vorüber,
Trostlos auf weitem Meer.

2. Du liebst mich nicht  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du liebst mich nicht, du liebst mich nicht,
Das kümmert mich gar wenig;
Schau' ich dir nur ins Angesicht,
So bin ich froh wie'n König.

Du hassest, hassest mich sogar,
So spricht dein rotes Mündchen;
Reich mir es nur zum Küssen dar,
So tröst' ich mich, mein Kindchen.

3. Oben, wo die Sterne glühen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Oben, wo die Sterne glühen,
Müssen uns die Freuden blühen,
Die uns unten sind versagt; 
In des Todes kalten Armen
Kann das Leben erst erwarmen,
Und das Licht der Nacht enttagt.
