You are my Wish and my Thought

©2006 by Marijan

Lyrics by Stefan George and Berthold Brecht

(both German Poets)

Music by Marijan P. Horvat

Part I. Berthold Brecht

I want to go with the one I love.
I do not want to think about whether it's good.
I do not want to know whether she loves me.
I want to go with whom I love.

never loved you more, my dear
Than as I walked away from you that evening.
The forest swallowed me, the blue forest, my dear
The blue forest and above it pale stars in the west.

I did not laugh, not one little bit, my dear
As I playfully walked towards a dark fate –
While the faces behind me
Slowly paled in the evening of the blue forest.

Everything was grand that one night, my dear
Never thereafter and never before –
I admit it: I was left with nothing but the big birds
And their hungry cries in the dark evening sky.

Part II: Stefan George

Du schlank und rein wie eine flamme
Du wie der morgen zart und licht
Du blühend reis vom edlen stamme
Du wie ein quell geheim und schlicht

Begleitest mich auf sonnigen matten
Umschauerst mich im abendrauch
Erleuchtest meinen weg im schatten
Du kühler wind du heißer hauch

Du bist mein wunsch und mein gedanke
Ich atme dich mit jeder luft
Ich schlürfe dich mit jedem tranke
Ich küsse dich mit jedem duft

Du blühend reis vom edlen stamme
Du wie ein quell geheim und schlicht
Du schlank und rein wie eine flamme
Du wie der morgen zart und licht.

A minstrel song mixed with eastern and rock elements.I sang it in English and German.The English lyric part is a poem by Berthold Brecht.The German lyrics part is a poem by Stefan George.Both were German Poets.
