about

4. Lied des Spielprinzen

Liebe ein Kinderspiel? Erzähl mir von den Blumen und Tieren...
Aber es kann ganz plötzlich umschlagen in ein gefährliches Räuberspiel!
Ich habe eine Elektronummer daraus gemacht.

"We watch the flowers and beasts making love.." That sounds like a children's play. But it can turn to a dangerous one very quickly!
I decided to make an electronic dance tune out of it.

lyrics

Das Lied des Spielprinzen

Wie kann ich dich mehr noch lieben?
Ich sehe den Tieren und Blumen
Bei der Liebe zu.

Küssen sich zwei Sterne,
Oder bilden Wolken ein Bild -
Wir spielten es schon zarter.

Und deine harte Stirne,
Ich kann mich so recht an sie lehnen,
Sitz drauf wie auf einem Giebel.

Und in deines Kinnes Grube
Bau ich mir ein Raubnest -
Bis - du mich aufgefressen hast.

Find dann einmal morgens
Nur noch meine Kniee,
Zwei gelbe Skarabäen für eines Kaisers Ring.

The Song of the Playful Prince

How can I love you more?
I see the beasts and flowers
Through eyes of love.

Two stars are busy kissing,
Clouds play
Tender war.

And when we lean,
Collision.
The bump is high and sore.

In your chin's shy dimple
My robber's nest will stay
Till you've nibbled me away.

I'll probably be shaking
When I beg on bended knee.
The ring? Two yellow scarabs
Worth a kingdom, and from me.

By Else Lasker-Schüler.
Adapted by William Myron Davis.
Title of original: Das Lied des Spielprinzen.
