Nachtlied
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Stern glänzt an Stern gleich Feuerfunken,
Die sich vom Himmelszelte heben.
Mein Lieb und ich, wir blicken trunken
Und süße Lieder uns entschweben.
Wir blicken lange so versunken
Und uns umdämmert Mondesweben.
Wir küssen uns vor Liebe trunken
Und süße Lieder uns entschweben.
Komm, Liebchen, komm! Sanft hingesunken,
Halb schlummernd, fast entrückt dem Leben,
Im Traum höre ich wie trunken
Gar süße Lieder uns entschweben.

Night song
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Star shines beside star like sparks from a fire,
[Stars] that are thrown into relief upon the vault of heaven.
My love and I, we gaze intoxicatedly
And sweet songs waft forth from us.
Thus rapt, we gaze for a long time
And we are woven about by the coming of moonlight.
Intoxicated with love we kiss each other
And sweet songs waft forth from us.
Come, darling, come! Gently reclining,
Half slumbering, almost enraptured out of life,
In my dreams I hear, as if intoxicated,
Very sweet songs waft forth from us.
