Frederick Delius - Ein Vogelweise

original text at mamqa.com/ulyricsnew/frederick-delius-ein-vogelweise-747052
Wir gingen an einem Maientag
In schattiger Allee
Geheimnisvoll und dunkel
Verschwiegen wie ein See
Der Westwind wehte leise
Und alles war so gut
Auf einem Ast ein Vöglein
Sang für die junge Brut

Ich malte Dichterbilder
Wie Regenbogen bunt;
Zwei braune Augen lachten
Sie bot mir ihren Mund
Doch über unsern Köpfen
Klangs wiе Kichern ungefähr
Wir schiedеn von einander
Und sah'n uns niemals mehr

Wenn ich nun einsam wandte
In schattiger Allee
So tut die muntre Vogelschar
Dem Herzen doppelt weh
Frau Amsel hat gemerkt sich
Was wir uns gesagt zuletzt
Und eine Weise gedichtet
Und in Musik gesetzt

Nun singen all die Vöglein hell
Aus ihrer luft' gen Höh
Von unserm Maiengange
In schattiger Allee

Frederick Delius - Biography

Frederick Delius (1862-1934) came from a merchant family in England. His musical career began in 1884, when his family sent him to Florida to manage an orange plantation. Instead, he took inspiration from the African-American music he heard and embarked on a career that saw him spend most of his life in France. His music frequently takes on pastoral subjects, influenced by the techniques of Wagner, Grieg, and Debussy.
