Traum durch die Dämmerung
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA SPA
Weite Wiesen im Dämmergrau;
die Sonne verglomm, die Sterne ziehn,
nun geh' ich zu der schönsten Frau,
weit über Wiesen im Dämmergrau,
tief in den Busch von Jasmin.
Durch Dämmergrau in der Liebe Land;
ich gehe nicht schnell, ich eile nicht;
mich zieht ein weiches samtenes Band
durch Dämmergrau in der Liebe Land,
in ein mildes, blaues Licht.

Dreaming through the twilight
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Broad meadows in the grey twilight;
the sun's light has died away and the stars are moving.
Now I go to the loveliest of women,
across the meadow in the grey twilight,
deep into bushes of jasmine.
Through the grey twilight to the land of love;
I do not walk quickly, I do not hurry.
I am drawn by a faint, velvet thread
through the grey twilight to the land of love,
into a mild, blue light.
