Auf Flügeln des Gesanges (On Wings of Song)
Composer: Felix Mendelssohn
Lyrics/Poem: Heinrich Heine
Tenor: Peter Schreier
Pianist: Walter Olbertz

Lyrics (English translation)

On wings of song,
my love, I'll carry you away
to the fields of the Ganges
Where I know the most beautiful place.

There lies a red-flowering garden,
in the serene moonlight,
the lotus-flowers await
Their beloved sister.

The violets giggle and cherish,
and look up at the stars,
The roses tell each other secretly
Their fragrant fairy-tales.

The gentle, bright gazelles,
pass and listen;
and in the distance murmurs
The waves of the holy stream.

There we will lay down,
under the palm-tree,
and drink of love and peacefulness
And dream our blessed dream.
