Wie jauchzt meine Seele
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Wie jauchzt meine Seele Und singet in sich! Kaum, daß ich's verhehle, So glücklich bin ich. Rings Menschen sich drehen Und sprechen gescheut, Ich kann nichts verstehen, So fröhlich zerstreut. - Zu eng wird das Zimmer, Wie glänzet das Feld, Die Täler voll Schimmer, Weit, herrlich die Welt! Gepreßt bricht die Freude Durch Riegel und Schloß, Fort über die Heide! Ach, hätt' ich ein Roß! - Und frag' ich und sinn' ich, Wie so mir geschehn? - Mein Liebchen herzinnig, Das soll ich heut' sehn.

How my soul rejoices
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
How my soul rejoices And sings within! I can hardly conceal How happy I am. Everyone turns around And speaks timidly, I don’t understand anything, So happy amused. The room feels too close, How the meadow gleams, The valleys all a-shimmer, Glorious the wide world! Condensed, joy breaks Through latch and lock, Forth over the moor! Ah, if only I had a horse! And I ask and I ponder, How is this happening to me? The dearest one of my heart, Who I will see today.
