Ich will meine Seele tauchen   lyrics by Heinrich Heine

Ich will meine Seele tauchen
In den Kelch der Lilie hinein;
Die Lilie soll klingend hauchen
Ein Lied von der Liebsten mein.

Das Lied soll schauern und beben
Wie der Kuß von ihrem Mund,
Den sie mir einst gegeben
In wunderbar süßer Stund’.

 

I want to immerse my soul   translation by Hélène Lindqvist

I want to immerse my soul
into the cup of the lily
The lily shall whisper the sound
of a song of my love

The song shall shudder and tremble
like the kiss of her mouth
that she once gave me
in a wonderfully sweet moment
