Isn't the sky so blue?
Brahms, Johannes
"Isn't the sky so blue?
Stand at the window and look!
Not until night,
Late at night,
Will I come home from the hunt.
"Maiden, the sky is blue -
Stay at the window and look.
Until night,
Late at night,
I will return home from the hunt."
"But I planned differently -
I want to dance tonight.
You'll stay outside the door,
Late, outside the door
If you will not dance with me!
"The sky may be blue,
But I will never stay and look,
If at night,
Late at night
You return home from the hunt."
