Z'ruck zu mir. 11 Kompositionen für Streichquartett, Kontrabass, Klavier und Solostimme

by Elfi Aichinger (b. 1961)

1. Versöhnung  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es wird ein großer Stern in meinen Schoß fallen ...
Wir wollen wachen die Nacht,

In den Sprachen beten,
Die wie Harfen eingeschnitten sind.

Wir wollen uns versöhnen die Nacht --
So viel Gott strömt über.

Kinder sind unsere Herzen,
Die möchten ruhen müdesüß.

Und unsere Lippen wollen sich küssen,
Was zagst du?

Grenzt nicht mein Herz an deins --
Immer färbt dein Blut meine Wangen rot.

Wir wollen uns versöhnen die Nacht,
Wenn wir uns herzen, sterben wir nicht.

Es wird ein großer Stern in meinen Schoß fallen.
