Traum durch die Dämmerung
(1895)
Op.29 no.1
Traum durch die Dämmerung
Weite Wiesen im Dämmergrau;Die Sonne verglomm, die Sterne ziehn; Nun geh’ ich hin zu der schönsten Frau,Weit über Wiesen im Dämmergrau,Tief in den Busch von Jasmin.Durch Dämmergrau in der Liebe Land;Ich gehe nicht schnell, ich eile nicht; Mich zieht ein weiches, sammtenes Band Durch Dämmergrau in der Liebe Land,In ein blaues, mildes Licht.
Dream into dusk
Broad meadows in grey dusk;The sun has set, the stars come out, I go now to the loveliest woman,Far across meadows in grey dusk, Deep into the jasmine grove.Through grey dusk into the land of love; I do not go fast, I do not hurry;I am drawn by a soft velvet ribbon Through grey dusk into the land of love, Into a gentle blue light.

Traum durch die Dämmerung
Weite Wiesen im Dämmergrau;
Die Sonne verglomm, die Sterne ziehn;
Nun geh’ ich hin zu der schönsten Frau,
Weit über Wiesen im Dämmergrau,
Tief in den Busch von Jasmin.
Durch Dämmergrau in der Liebe Land;
Ich gehe nicht schnell, ich eile nicht;
Mich zieht ein weiches, sammtenes Band
Durch Dämmergrau in der Liebe Land,
In ein blaues, mildes Licht.
Dream into dusk
Broad meadows in grey dusk;
The sun has set, the stars come out,
I go now to the loveliest woman,
Far across meadows in grey dusk,
Deep into the jasmine grove.
Through grey dusk into the land of love;
I do not go fast, I do not hurry;
I am drawn by a soft velvet ribbon
Through grey dusk into the land of love,
Into a gentle blue light.
