Du schäumst und sprühst

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

    Du schäumst und sprühst
Und brausest und glühst? --
Mein Roß, du witterst, ich reite
Mit dir zum blutigen Streite!
 
    Du pochst, und hebst
Die Brust mir und bebst?--
Mein Herz, du fühlest, ich fliege
Mit dir zum sicheren Siege!

Melek's battle‑greeting

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

    You foam and spray
And roar and glow? --
My steed, you sense that I ride
With you into the bloody battle!
 
    You beat, and inspire
My breast and tremble? --
My heart, you feel that I fly
With you to certain victory!
