Schatten Rosen Schatten für Gesang, Flöte und Violine

by Martin Wistinghausen (b. 1979)

1. Ich bin traurig  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Deine Küsse dunkeln auf meinem Mund.
Du hast mich nicht mehr lieb.

Und wie du kamst -- !
Blau vor Paradies.

Um deinen süsesten [sic] Brunnen
Gaukelte mein Herz.

Nun will ich es schminken,
Wie die Freudenmädchen
Die welke Rose ihrer Lende röten.

Unsere Augen sind halb geschlossen,
Wie sterbende Himmel --

Alt ist der Mond geworden.
Die Nacht wird nicht mehr wach.

Du erinnerst dich meiner kaum.
Wo soll ich mit meinem Herzen hin?
