Kulmann, Elisabeth: 02. Good luck on your journey, swallows! (02. Viel Glück zur Reise, Schwalben! in English)

Portre of Kulmann, Elisabeth

02. Viel Glück zur Reise, Schwalben! (German)

Viel Glück zur Reise, Schwalben!
Ihr eilt, ein langer Zug,
Zum schönen warmen Süden
In frohem, kühnen Flug.

Gern möchte wohl die Reise
Ich einmal thun mit euch,
Zu seh’n die tausend Wunder,
Die darbeut jedes Reich.

Doch immer käm ich wieder,
Wie schön auch jedes Land,
Und reich an Wundern wäre,
Zurück in’s Vaterland!

02. Good luck on your journey, swallows! (English)

Good luck on your journey, swallows!
You hurry in a long skein
To the beautiful warm south
In joyful, fearless flight.

I should love to travel
With you one day,
To see the thousand wonders
That each realm has to show.

But I should always return,
However fair each country,
And however rich in wonders,
To my native land!
