Black Is The Color - Jean Ritchietranslation in German




Black Is The Color
Schwarz ist die Farbe
But black is the color of my true love's hair
Doch schwarz ist die Farbe meines Liebsten Haar
His face is something wondrous fair
Sein Gesicht ist wundersam schön
The prettiest eyes and the neatest hands
Die schönsten Augen und die zierlichsten Hände
I love the ground whereon he stands
Ich liebe den Boden, auf dem er steht
I love my love and well he knows
Ich liebe meinen Liebsten und er weiß es wohl
I love the ground whereon he goes
Ich liebe den Boden, auf dem er geht
If you on earth no more I see
Wenn ich dich auf Erden nicht mehr seh'
I can't serve you as you have me
Kann ich dir nicht sein, wie du mir
The winter's past and the leaves are green
Der Winter ist vorbei und die Blätter sind grün
The time is passed that we have seen
Die Zeit ist vergangen, die wir erlebt haben
But still I hope the time will come
Doch hoffe ich noch, die Zeit wird kommen
When you and I will be as one
Wenn du und ich eins sein werden
I go to the clyde for to mourn to weep
Ich geh' zum Clyde, um zu trauern, zu weinen
But satisfied would I never can sleep
Doch zufrieden kann ich niemals schlafen
I'll write to you in a few little lines
Ich werd' dir schreiben in wenigen Zeilen
I'll suffer death ten thousand times
Ich werd' den Tod zehntausend Mal erleiden
But black is the color of my true love's hair
Doch schwarz ist die Farbe meines Liebsten Haar
His face is something wondrous fair
Sein Gesicht ist wundersam schön
The prettiest eyes and the neatest hands
Die schönsten Augen und die zierlichsten Hände
I love the ground whereon he stands
Ich liebe den Boden, auf dem er steht
