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 blaues, mildes Licht.

Note for stanza 2, line 5: in Strauss's song in the repetition, the line reverts to the original "in ein mildes, blaues Licht".

Dromend door de schemering

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Sinding)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Verre weiden in ‘t schemergrauw;
De zon doofde uit, ‘k zag sterrenschijn,
Nu ga ik naar de mooiste vrouw,
Ver door de weiden in ’t schemergrauw,
Diep in het bos van jasmijn.

Door schemergrauw naar het liefdeland;
Ik loop niet heel snel, geen haast verplicht;
Mij trekt een zachte, fluwelen band
Door schemergrauw naar het liefdeland,
Naar een zachtblauw, teder licht.
