Ich wollt ich wär eine Blume / Hermann Hesse

Ich wollt ich wär eine Blume

Ich wollt ich wär eine Blume,

Du kämest still gegangen,

Nähmst mich zum Eigentume

In deine Hand gefangen.

Auch wär ich gern ein roter Wein

Und flösse süß durch deinen Mund

Und ganz und gar in dich hinein

Und machte dich und mich gesund.

Hermann Hesse

Love Song

I wish I were a flower

and you were just walking by

and picked me as your own

and held me captive in your hand.

or I wish I were red wine

and you would drink my sweetness

and take me deep inside yourself,

Both you and I would be healed.

Hermann Hesse ~ (The Seasons of the Soul)

Translated by Ludwig Max Fischer

Canto d'amore

Vorrei essere un fiore 

e tu mi passi piano accanto, 

mi cogli con amore 

nella tua mano d'incanto.

E vorrei essere rosso vino dolce 

che scorre nella tua bocca, 

vorrei attraversarti tutta 

e guariremmo insieme.

Hermann Hesse





Aşk Şarkısı

Kırmızı şarap olmayı isterdim

Ve akmayı ağzının içinden

Ta içlerine kadar

Ve iyileştirmeyi seni de, kendimi de.

Hermann Hesse
