Lyrics taken from a poem by Hermann Hesse

lyrics

German:
Mein Kissen schaut mich an zur Nacht
leer wie ein Totenstein;
So bitter hatt ich’s nie gedacht,
Allein zu sein
Und nicht in deinem Haar gebettet sein!

Ich lieg allein im stillen Haus,
die Ampel ausgetan,
Und strecke sacht die Hände aus,
die deinen zu umfahn,
Und dränge leis den heißen Mund
Nach Dir und küss mich matt und wund—
und plötzlich bin ich aufgewacht
und ringsum schweigt die kalte Nacht,
der Stern im Fenster schimmert klar—
o du, wo ist dein blondes Haar,
wo ist dein süßer Mund?

English (Without you):
My pillow watches me in the night
vacant as a grave stone;
I never imagined it would be so bitter
to be alone,
and not entangled in your hair.

I lie alone in a quiet house,
the light gone out,
and gently extend my hands
to reach for yours,
and softly press an impassioned mouth
toward you… but kiss only myself, dull and hurting—
and suddenly I’m awake,
embraced only by the silence of the cold night.
A star shines clearly through the window—
Oh, where is your blonde hair,
where’s your sweet mouth?
