about

A reminiscence of one's life and longing for continuation at end of days.

lyrics

Ich blick' in mein Herz und ich blick' in die Welt, / I look in my heart and I look at the world
Bis vom Auge die brennende Träne mir fällt, / Till out of my burning eyes a tear falls.
Wohl leuchtet die Ferne mit goldenem Licht, / Though the distance glows with golden light,
Doch hält mich der Nord, ich erreiche sie nicht. / The north wind tells me I shall not reach it.
O die Schranken so eng, und die Welt so weit, / Ah! How narrow our confines, how wide the world,
Und so flüchtig die Zeit! / And how fleeting is time!

Ich weiß ein Land, wo aus sonnigem Grün, / I know a land where in sun-filled greenery
Um versunkene Tempel die Trauben glühn, / Grapes gleam among sunken temples,
Wo die purpurne Woge das Ufer beschäumt, / Where the purple wave covers the shore with foam
Und von kommenden Sängern der Lorbeer träumt. / And laurels dream of singers to come.
Fern lockt es und winkt dem verlangenden Sinn, / It lures from afar and beckons my longing soul,
Und ich kann nicht hin! / And I cannot go there!

O hätt' ich Flügel, durch's Blau der Luft / If I had wings to fly through the blue
Wie wollt' ich baden im Sonnenduft! / How I would wish to bathe in sun's fragrance!
Doch umsonst! Und Stunde auf Stund' entflieht / But in vain! Hour flees upon hour;
Vertraure die Jugend, begrabe das Lied! / Pass your youth in mourning, bury your song.
O die Schranken so eng, und die Welt so weit, / Ah! How narrow our confines, how wide the world,
Und so flüchtig die Zeit! / And how fleeting is time!
