Ich will meine Seele tauchen (I will dip my soul)
This is the second song in Robert Schumann's song cycle Dichterliebe, composed in (1840). The text is taken from Heinrich Heine's: Lyrisches Intermezzo.

[edit] German Text

Ich will meine Seele tauchen
In den Kelch der Lilie hinein,
Die Lilie soll klingend hauchen
Ein Leid von der Liebsten mein.

Das Lied soll schauern und beben
Wie der Kuss von ihrem Mund',
Den sie mir einst gegeben
In wunderbar süsser Stund'!

[edit] Translation

I will dip my soul
into the chalice of the lily;
the lily shall breath
a song about my beloved.

The song shall quiver and palpitate
like the kiss of her mouth
that once again she gave me
in a wonderfully sweet moment!
