by Johann Ludwig Uhland (1787 - 1862)

So hab' ich endlich dich gerettet
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
So hab' ich endlich dich gerettet
Mir aus der Menge wilden Reihn!
Du bist in meinen Arm [gekettet]1,
Du bist nun mein, nun einzig mein.
Es schlummert alles diese Stunde,
Nur wir noch leben auf der Welt;
Wie in der Wasser stillem Grunde
Der Meergott seine Göttin hält.

Verrauscht ist all das rohe Tosen,
Das deine Worte mir verschlang;
Dein leises, liebevolles Kosen
Ist nun mein einz'ger, süßer Klang.
Die Erde liegt in Nacht gehüllet,
Kein Licht erglänzt auf Flur und Teich;
Nur dieser Lampe Schimmer füllet
Noch unsrer Liebe kleines Reich.
