Schifferlied by Gottfried Keller 


Schon hat die Nacht den Silberschrein

Des Himmels aufgethan:

Nun spült der See den Widerschein

Zu dir, zu dir hinan!

Wach' auf, Marian!


Und in dem Glanze schaukelt sich

Ein leichter dunkler Kahn,

Der aber trägt und schaukelt mich

Zu dir, zu dir hinan!

Wach' auf, Marian!


Ich höre schon den Brunnen gehn

Dem Pförtlein nebenan,

Und dieses hat ein frisches Weh'n

Soeben aufgethan.

Wach' auf, Marian!


Ich fühle, wie die Erde schwellt

Zum Himmel leis hinan;

Nach Liebe dürstet alle Welt --

Mein Schifflein, leg' dich an!

Wach' auf, Marian!


Dies Lied hat mir ein Bursch' gemacht,

Der fuhr in meinem Kahn;

Er hat's für dich und mich erdacht,

Bet für ihn, Marian!

Wach' auf, Marian!



Sailor's song

Translated by Sharon Krebs


The silver shrine of heaven,

Now the lake swirls the reflection

Toward you, up to you!

Awake, Marian!


And in the radiance, there rocks

A light, dark-coloured barque;

It, in turn, bears and rocks me 

Toward you, up to you!

Awake, Marian!


I already hear the water-well rippling

Beside the little gate,

And a brisk breeze has just

Opened the little gate.

Awake, Marian!


I feel how the earth quietly

Swells toward heaven;

All the world is thirsting for love --

My little barque, come to your berth!

Awake, Marian!


A lad made this song for me,

He travelled in my barque;

He devised it for you and for me,

Pray for him, Marian!

Awake, Marian!
