Mondestrunken
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français)
Available translation(s): CHI ENG FRE ITA NYN
Den Wein, den man mit Augen trinkt,
Gießt Nachts der Mond in Wogen nieder,
Und eine Springflut überschwemmt
Den stillen Horizont.
Gelüste schauerlich und süß,
Durchschwimmen ohne Zahl die Fluten!
Den Wein, den man mit Augen trinkt,
Gießt Nachts der Mond in Wogen nieder.
Der Dichter, den die Andacht treibt,
Berauscht sich an dem heilgen Tranke,
Gen Himmel wendet er verzückt
Das Haupt und taumelnd saugt und schlürft er
Den Wein, den man mit Augen trinkt.

Ebbro di luna
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
Vino, che si beve con gli occhi,
mesce, di notte, la luna a fiotti,
e un'onda di marea sommerge
il silenzioso orizzonte.
Voglie terribili e dolci,
attraversano innumerevoli le onde!
Vino, che si beve con gli occhi,
mesce, di notte, la luna a fiotti.
Ed il poeta, che a meditare incita,
della santa bevanda tutto si inebria,
e, in estasi, volge il capo al cielo
e, barcollando, succhia in avidi sorsi
vino, che si beve con gli occhi.
