Lukasz Rosiak - Pierot's Tanzlied from Die Tote Stadt video

Piano: Alina Hoffman My yearning, my obsession, they take my back in dreams. In the dance I once obtained it, Now I've lost my happiness. While dancing on the Rhein in the moonlight, she confessed to me with a loving look in her blue eyes, Confessed to me with her pleading words: O stay, don't go far away, preserve the memory of your homeland's peaceful, flourishing happiness. My yearning, my obsession, they take me back in dreams. The magic of things far away brings a burning ot my soul The magic of the dance lured me, and I was then Pierrot. I followed her, my wonderful sweetheart, and learned from tears to kiss. Intoxication and misery, Illusion and happiness: Ah, this is a clown's destiny. My yearning, my obsession, they take me back in dreams. Translated by Hank Hammert (DietHam@concentric.com)
