 Sommernacht lyrics by Anon.

Schweigend ruh’ich hier und schaue
Träumend in die Nacht hinaus,
In die sterndurchglühten Räume,
in das weite Himmelshaus.

Und aus endlos dunkler Ferne
Weht Musik so himmlisch rein,
All’ die bebend weichen Töne
Klingen in mein Herz hinein.

Bis ihr sanft und leis’ verklungen,
Lausch’ ich euch, ihr Lieder, nach.
Liebe hat euch ja gesungen,
Weckt auch mir die Liebe wach.

Summer night translation by Hélène Lindqvist

Silently I rest here and gaze
dreaming into the night
into space, glowing with stars
into the broad house of the heavens

And from endless dark faraway places
flows music, heavenly pure
all the trembling soft notes
sound right into my heart

Until you fade away softly
Songs, I will listen to you
Love has sung you into life
May you awake the love in me
