Original text and translations

English text

Und morgen wird die Sonne wieder scheinen,

und auf dem Wege, den ich gehen werde,

wird uns, die Glücklichen, sie wieder einen

inmitten dieser sonnenatmenden Erde…

Und zu dem Strand, dem weiten, wogenblauen,

werden wir still und langsam niedersteigen,

stumm werden wir uns in die Augen schauen,

und auf uns sinkt des Glückes stummes Schweigen…

English translation

Tomorrow Tomorrow again will shine the sun

And on my sunlit path of earth

Unite us again, as it has done,

And give our bliss another birth.

The spacious beach under wave-blue skies

We’ll reach by descending soft and slow,

And mutely gaze in each other’s eyes,

As over us rapture’s great hush will flow.
