Zauber
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG
Ich kehre heim aus dem Sonnenland.
Ich bin den ganzen blühenden Tag
in eitel Schönheit gegangen;
nun fliegt's mir um Augen und Wangen
noch wie ein verträumter, seliger Schein.
Schau mir nicht so in die Augen hinein,
sonst nimmt er dich auch gefangen;
dann kommen wir nicht voneinander los,
wir seh'n uns an so sehnsuchtsgroß
und finden aus lachendem Märchenglück
den Weg nicht mehr ins Leben zurück.

Magic
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
I return home from the land of sunshine!
The whole blossoming day
I walked in utter beauty!
Now it still flies about my brow and cheeks
Like a transfigured, blessed radiance.
Do not look into my eyes like that,
Otherwise [the radiance] shall ensnare you as well;
Then we shall never be free of one another,
And shall look at each other with such great yearning,
And from the laughing fairy-tale happiness we shall
Never again find our way back into life.
