Two Songs Op.18: Monks And Raisins - Allegro

Zwei Lieder Op.18: Mönche und Rosinen - Allegro

I have observed pink monks eating blue raisins.

Ich habe rosa Mönche beobachtet, die blaue Rosinen aßen.

And I have observed blue monks eating pink raisins.

Und ich habe blaue Mönche beobachtet, die rosa Rosinen aßen.

Studiously have I observed.

Eifrig habe ich beobachtet.

Now this is the way a pink monk eats a blue raisin;

Nun, so isst ein rosa Mönch eine blaue Rosine;

Pink is he and it is blue and the pink swallows the blue.

Rosa ist er und sie ist blau, und das Rosa verschluckt das Blaue.

I swear this is true.

Ich schwöre, das ist wahr.

And the way a blue monk eats a pink raisin is this:

Und so isst ein blauer Mönch eine rosa Rosine:

Blue is he and it is pink and the blue swallows the pink.

Blau ist er und sie ist rosa, und das Blaue verschluckt das Rosa.

I swear this is true.

Ich schwöre, das ist wahr.

Indeed I have observed and myself partaken of blue and pink raisins.

Wahrlich, ich habe beobachtet und selbst von blauen und rosa Rosinen gekostet.

But my joy was different:

Doch meine Freude war anders:

My joy was to see the blue and the pink counterpointing.

Meine Freude war, das Blaue und das Rosa kontrapunktieren zu sehen.
