Nicht Wandle, Mein Licht (Liebeslieder Walzer Op. 52, No. 17) - Kurt Elling, Иоганнес Брамс

Nicht wandle / mein Licht,

dort außen / Im Flurbereich!

Die Füße würden dir / die zarten / zu naß / zu weich.

All überströmt sind dort die Wege / die Stege dir;

So überreichlich tränte dorten / das Auge mir.

Don’t Wander, My Light

Don’t wander, my light,

Don’t go walking in the fields!

Your lovely feet would get too wet;

too soft.

All the roads are flooded there,

And all the paths too.

..

So overwhelming have been the tears that flowed from my eyes.

Do not wander / my light,

out there / in the hallway area!

Your feet would be / the delicate / too wet / too soft.

All overflowed are the ways / the footbridges for you;

So abundantly there / my eyes watered.

Don't Wander, My Light

Don't wander, my light,

Don't go walking in the fields!

Your lovely feet would get too wet;

too soft.

All the roads are flooded there,

And all the paths too.

..

So overwhelming have been the tears that flowed from my eyes.
