Ach, in diesen blauen Tagen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ach, in diesen blauen Tagen,
Die so licht und sonnig fließen,
Welch ein inniges Genießen,
Welche stillverklärte Ruh'!
Heiter ist das Blut gezügelt,
Leichter Schlaf und klarer Morgen
Wissen nichts von bangen Sorgen,
Und die Seele schweift beflügelt
Jeder lieben Stelle zu.
Ach, in diesen blauen Tagen,
Die wie Wellen so gelinde
Mich ins Leben weiter tragen,
Muß ich hoffen, muß ich fragen,
Ob ich nie dich wiederfinde,
Liebling meiner Seele du!

Oh in these blue days
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Oh in these blue days,
That pass by seamlessly in light and sun,
What an intimate pleasure,
What quietly transfigured peace!
Cheerfully the blood is restrained,
Light sleep and clear morning
Know nothing about anxious worries,
And the soul, roaming as if winged,
Gravitates towards each lovely place.
Oh in these blue days,
Which like waves carry me
So gently into life,
I must hope, I must ask,
If I will never find you again,
You darling of my soul!
