Schon gut!

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

"Oh", rief ein Glas Burgunder,
"Oh, Mond, du göttliches Wunder!
Du giesst aus silberner Schale
Das liebestaumelnde, fahle,
Trunkene Licht wie sengende Glut
Hin über das nachtigallige Land -- --"

Da rief der Mond, indem er verschwand:
"Ich weiss! Ich weiss! Schon gut! Schon gut!"

That's right!

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

"Oh", cried a glass of Burgundy,
"Oh moon, you wonder divine!
Your silver chalice, full and free,
Spills pale, sweetly dizzying wine,
Intoxicating, its bright warming glow
Lights bright the nightingales' land below - -"

To the fast emptied glass, the Moon did glow:
"That's right! That's right! I know! I know!"
