Four Songs Op.13: No.4 Nocturne - Andante,un poco mosso

Vier Lieder Op.13: Nr.4 Nocturne - Andante,un poco mosso

Close my darling both your eyes,

Schließe, mein Liebling, deine beiden Augen,

Let your arms lie still at last.

Lass deine Arme endlich ruhen.

Calm the lake of falsehood lies

Still liegt der See der Falschheit

And the wind of lust has passed,

Und der Wind der Lust ist vorübergezogen,

Waves across these hopeless sands

Wellen über diesem hoffnungslosen Sand

Fill my heart and end my day,

Erfüllen mein Herz und beenden meinen Tag,

Underneath your moving hands

Unter deinen bewegenden Händen

All my aching flows away.

Fließt all mein Schmerz dahin.

Even the human pyramids

Selbst die menschlichen Pyramiden

Blaze with such a longing now:

Glühen jetzt mit solcher Sehnsucht:

Close, my love, your trembling lids,

Schließe, meine Liebste, deine zitternden Lider,

Let the midnight heal your brow,

Lass die Mitternacht deine Stirn heilen,

Northward flames Orion's horn,

Nördlich flammt Orions Horn,

Westward th' Egyptian light.

Westlich das ägyptische Licht.

None to watch us, none to warn

Niemand, der uns beobachtet, niemand, der uns warnt,

But the blind eternal night.

Als die blinde ewige Nacht.
