Wenn sanft du mir im Arme schliefst
Language: German (Deutsch)
Chosen for Diff
Wenn sanft du mir im Arme schliefst, ich deinen Atem hören konnte, im Traum du meinen Namen riefst, um deinen Mund ein Lächeln sonnte - Glückes genug. Und wenn nach heißem, ernstem Tag du mir verscheuchtest schwere Sorgen, wenn ich an deinem Herzen lag und nicht mehr dachte an ein Morgen - Glückes genug.

Blissfulness
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Chosen for Diff
When you slept in my heart so smooth And I could hear your calming breath And when you called my name while dreaming And when I saw your sunny smiling You made me happy always so much! And when the day was filled with pains And when you gave strength for veins And when I felt your heart was striking, And when I could not think of morning, You made me happy always so much!
From the Grimm score.
Note: Grimm repeats the "Glückes genug" at the end of each stanza and so he has extra words in his singable English.
