Close to the Beloved

I think of you when I see the sun gleaming up at me,
Shining from the sea;
I think of you when the flickering of the moon
Is reflected in fountains.

I see you, when, on distant paths
The dust rises up;
In the depths of the night, when on the narrow footbridge
The traveller trembles.

I hear you, when over there with a muffled roar
The wave soars up.
I often go into the quiet grove to listen
When everything has fallen silent.

I am with you, however far away you are.
You are close to me!
The sun is sinking, the stars are offering me their light.
Oh, if only you were here!

The scenery was filmed in Ueschinental, Switzerland by Christian Schlegel and the video was edited by Wenjing Ma.
