Serenade

Klaus Miehling

In the deep night everything is asleep;

the stars are still shining;

the wind has fallen silent

down among the lilacs.

Under the friendly leaves

the birds have gone to sleep.

Come, the enchanted woods

are full of fragrance.

In the deep night everything is asleep;

the stars are still shining.

Come, my love,

I am yours,

be completely mine!

Let us let our souls wander freely

through perfumes and songs...

Let us love one another, let us love and dream!

But alas, is my voice fruitlessly

drawing a groaning echo from these woods?

Come, the air is so sweet around us,

oh come, come!

In the deep night everything is asleep, etc.

The time of our love

is fleeting, and we don't live forever.

Let us love!
