Dann losch das Licht

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Dann losch das Licht,
und durch die Stille
nur noch dein Herzschlag ... 
Seligkeit! 
Im Garten, frühauf, pfiff ein Vogel,
von tausend Gräsern troff der Thau,
der ganze Himmel stand in Rosen. 
Lieber! Liebe!
Und wieder: Kuss auf Kuss ... 
Was kann die Welt uns jetzt noch bieten!

Puis la lumière s'éteint

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Puis la lumière s'éteint
Et dans le silence
Seul bat encore ton cœur ...
Béatitude !
Tôt le matin un oiseau siffle dans le jardin,
La rosée goutte des herbes,
Le ciel tout entier est rose.
Chéri ! chérie !
Et puis baisers après baisers ...
Que peut bien encore nous offrir le monde !
