about

6. Heim

"Ich habe keine Ruhe, immer unstet, kein Zuhaus. Ich wollte, ich wäre jemand sein Kind. Und es ging jemand mit mir in alle Spielläden und kaufte mir Schaukelpferde, kleine Bären, Schachteln voll Häuschen und Bäumchen und Schafe und Hühner." schrieb Else Lasker-Schüler .
So hat sie sich ihre phantastischen Welten der Poesie geschaffen.
Dieses Lied "Heim" habe ich in Tibet angesiedelt.
Die Geschichte geht so:
Zwei Freundinnen sitzen in einem blauseidenen Raum im Himalaya mit Blick auf schneebedeckte Berge, es ist ein frostiger Frühlingtag im Gebirge, draußen blüht ein erster Kirschbaum und die beiden haben sich viel zu erzählen

What means "home" for a writer, for a Jew, for an unconventional woman and artist? She never found one in all her life.
That's why she created her own imaginative worlds of poetry.
This song on her poem "home" I located somewhere in Tibet.
The story goes:
Two best friends at sitting in their silk blue room. From their window they can see the Himalaya mountains, it's brisk and cold and very quiet. They are talking to each other all night long and have so much to tell... from dusk till dawn.

lyrics

HEIM

Unsere Zimmer haben blaue Wände,
Und wir wandeln leisehin durch Himmelweiten,
Und am Abend legen Innigkeiten
Mit Engelaugen ineinander unsere Hände.

Und wir erzählen uns Geschichten,
Bis der Morgen kommt in Silberglocken
Und dem Dämmersteine in den Locken,
Der Sonne winkt durchs Tor von Wolkenschichten;

Und wie sie tanzt auf unseren wiesenhellen
Teppichen, leicht über sanftverschlungene Blumenstiele!
Zum Liebeslauschen laden unsere Stühle,
Und von den Pfeilern fallen Seidenquellen.

Home

Our rooms have blue walls.
We wander through vast spaces.
At night our angel eyes
Unhand our in-hand faces.

We story tell till dawn
Comes in on silver bells:
The moon, in flowing moonstone,
The sun, in sultry gold.

And dancing on bright meadows,
The breeze bends fields of milk.
We listen to the music
Of caterpillar silk.

From the German of Else Lasker-Schüler.
Adapted by William Myron Davis. Title of
original: Heim.
