Duett [Das Minnelied der Incubi] [English translation]

Canon:

I'd like to feel the earth with you

(Feel the earth with you)1

And paint it blood red with rose petals

(paint it blood red)

And stroll alone with you through the garden

(Alone with you)

Before the blossoms of summer die

(Die)

We walk, and I take you by the hand

(We walk, and I take you)

I watch over you in your slumber

(In your slumber)

And I bring you my heart as sacrifice

(And I bring you)

And guard you from every care

(From every care)

Unison:

Sway, sway, sway in the dance

Come, and let us teach you

Fly, fly, fly, and trust us

For the morning is far away

Dawn

When the light threatens the night

For only in a dream

Can I be with you

And in the light of dawn I dissolve into air

Canon:

You are so wonderfully beautiful, and I can hardly bear it

(You are so wonderfully beautiful)

When you weep

(When you weep)

And no power in this world could ever be

(Could ever be)

As strong as this love

(This love)

Unison:

Sway, sway, sway in the dance

Come, and let us teach you

Fly, fly, fly, and trust us

For the morning is far away

Dawn

When the light threatens the night

For only in a dream

Can I be with you

And in the light of dawn I dissolve into air

1. Actually the lyrics given here are an attempt to render the way that two voices sing the verses in canon. It's really that one voice starts singing the same words later, not that they sing something and then sing the last part again.
