(Sung text for setting by R. Strauss)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA SPA

Weite Wiesen im Dämmergrau;
die Sonne verglomm, die Sterne ziehn,
nun geh' ich hin 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".

Rêve au crépuscule

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Strauss)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

De larges prairies dans le gris du crépuscule;
Le soleil s'éteint lentement, les étoiles se montrent,
Alors je vais vers la plus belle des femmes
Loin au-delà des prairies et du gris crépuscule,
Au fond des buissons de jasmin.

Dans le gris crépuscule, au pays de l'amour;
Je ne vais pas vite, je ne me presse pas;
Un doux ruban de velours me tire
Dans le gris crépuscule, au pays de l'amour,
Dans une lumière bleue et douce.
