Im Korn
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Oh, das Korn, das wogte so,
Und da mußte ich dich fassen.
Konnte deine Hand nicht lassen,
Meine Seele wogte so.
Und das Korn, das ging so leise,
In den Sommerähren sang es,
Tief in meine Seele drang es:
Eine wunderbare Weise.
Oh, die Hände wurden uns trunken,
Leise schlugen deine Finger -
Und dein Kopf, mir, dem Bezwinger,
Ist er an die Brust gesunken.

Among the corn
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Oh, the corn, it was waving so,
that I had to grab you.
I could not let go of your hand,
for my soul was waving so.
And the corn, it moved so gently,
and sang in its summer ears;
and deep in my soul it went,
a wonderful melody.
Oh, our hands are acting as though they are drunk,
gently your fingers tapped -
and your head upon mine, your conquerer's
breast, you let sink.
