English translations of Lieder, opus 29
by Hermann Drechsler (1861 - 1935)
Wenn du mir vorüberwandelst, Und dein Kleid berührt mich nur, Jubelt dir mein Herz, und stürmisch Folgt es deiner schönen Spur. [Dann]1 drehst du dich um, und schaust mich Mit den großen Augen an, [Und mein Herz ist]2 so erschrocken, Daß es kaum dir folgen kann.

When you walk past me, And your garment only just touches me, My heart turns to you with rejoicing, and stormily It follows your beautiful trace. [Then]2 you turn, and gaze at me With your great eyes, [And my heart is]2 so startled That it can scarcely follow you.

Ich wandle unter Blumen Und blühe selber mit, Ich wandle wie im Traume Und schwanke bei jedem Schritt. O halt mich fest, Geliebte! Vor Liebestrunkenheit Fall' ich dir sonst zu Füßen Und der Garten ist voller Leut!

I wander among the flowers and blossom myself along with them; I wander as if in a dream and sway with every step. Oh hold me tightly, my beloved! Or, drunk with love, I will collapse at your feet; and the garden is full of people!
