Tannhäuser, Act I: Dir töne Lob! (Live)
Hier könne du die Wunderzeit befräsen
Die deine Macht je glücklicher erschur
Die Wohne sich, die deiner Hulde entspriesen
Erheb mein Lied in lautem Jubelruf
If I were to be your life, I would belong to him if he were to stay with you.
I am the only one who, with a warm spirit, would be happy in your arms.
The wonders of my kingdom are enchanting.
The magic is fully won over here.
No country on earth can offer you what it possesses.
I would be your likeness.
But I, driven by this call, long for the fall of the sky,
for our clear blue sky, for our sweet wind,
for our birds' sweet songs, for our clear golden sounds,
for a kingdom I must see!
O kings!
Behold!
Let me see!
O kings!
Behold!
Let me see!
O kings!
