Spanisches Lied
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Er stand vor mir im Jugendglanze, Strahlendes Aug', wallendes Haar, Als ich schwebend im üpp'gen Tanze Sah nach des Volks wogender Schar. Ach, da fühlt ich im Herzen Was ich nimmer gekannt. War es Wonne, waren's Schmerzen? War's Qual, war’s süße Lust? Vor Sehnen, ach möcht' ich vergeh'n! Könnt' ich ihn doch wiederseh'n! Ha welche Lust, welch namenlos Entzücken! Wonniger Rausch und seliges Beglücken, Einmal an's Herz ihn zu drücken, Sterben an seiner Brust. Mein Herz erbebt vor Lust. Mein Herz erbebt vor Lust, Zu sterben an seiner Brust!
Note: Eckert begins his song with "Ah! Ah! Ah!" and inserts "Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!" after lines 6 and 7. He also inserts "Ah!" after lines 14 and 15.
