My Heart is High Above

MY heart is high above, my body is full of bliss,
For I am set in luve as well as I would wiss
I luve my lady pure and she luvis me again,
I am her serviture, she is my soverane;
She is my very heart, I am her howp and heill,
She is my joy invart, I am her luvar leal;
I am her bond and thrall, she is at my command;
I am perpetual her man, both foot and hand;
The thing that may her please my body sall fulfil;
Quhatever her disease, it does my body ill.
My bird, my bonny ane, my tender babe venust,
My luve, my life alane, my liking and my lust!
We interchange our hairtis in others armis soft,
Spriteless we twa depairtis, usand our luvis oft.
We mourn when licht day dawis, we plain the nicht is short,
We curse the cock that crawis, that hinderis our disport.
I glowffin up aghast, quhen I her miss on nicht,
And in my oxter fast I find the bowster richt;
Then languor on me lies like Morpheus the mair,
Quhilk causes me uprise and to my sweet repair.
And then is all the sorrow forth of remembrance
That ever I had a-forrow in luvis observance.
Thus never I do rest, so lusty a life I lead,
Quhen that I list to test the well of womanheid.
Luvaris in pain, I pray God send you sic remeid
As I have nicht and day, you to defend from deid!
Therefore be ever true unto your ladies free,
And they will on you rue as mine has done on me.

When Flora had O'erfret the Firth

QUHEN Flora had o'erfret the firth
In May of every moneth queen;
Quhen merle and mavis singis with mirth
Sweet melling in the shawis sheen;
Quhen all luvaris rejoicit bene
And most desirous of their prey,
I heard a lusty luvar mene
—'I luve, but I dare nocht assay!'

'Strong are the pains I daily prove,
But yet with patience I sustene,
I am so fetterit with the luve
Only of my lady sheen,
Quhilk for her beauty micht be queen,
Nature so craftily alway
Has done depaint that sweet serene:
—Quhom I luve I dare nocht assay.

'She is so bricht of hyd and hue,
I luve but her alone, I ween;
Is none her luve that may eschew,
That blinkis of that dulce amene;
So comely cleir are her twa een
That she mae luvaris dois affray
Than ever of Greece did fair Helene:
—Quhom I luve I dare nocht assay!'

Robin and Makyne

ROBIN sat on gude green hill,
   Kepand a flock of fe:
Mirry Makyne said him till
   'Robin, thou rew on me:
I haif thee luvit, loud and still,
   Thir yeiris twa or thre;
My dule in dern bot gif thou dill,
   Doutless but dreid I de.'

Robin answerit 'By the Rude
   Na thing of luve I knaw,
But keipis my scheip undir yon wud:
   Lo, quhair they raik on raw.
Quhat has marrit thee in thy mude,
   Makyne, to me thou shaw;
Or quhat is luve, or to be lude?
   Fain wad I leir that law.'

'At luvis lair gif thou will leir
   Tak thair ane A B C;
Be heynd, courtass, and fair of feir,
   Wyse, hardy, and free:
So that no danger do thee deir
   Quhat dule in dern thou dre;
Preiss thee with pain at all poweir
   Be patient and previe.'

Robin answerit hir agane,
   'I wat nocht quhat is lufe;
But I haif mervel in certaine
   Quhat makis thee this wanrufe:
The weddir is fair, and I am fain;
   My scheip gois haill aboif;
And we wald prey us in this plane,
   They wald us baith reproif.'

'Robin, tak tent unto my tale,
   And wirk all as I reid,
And thou sall haif my heart all haill,
   Eik and my maiden-heid:
Sen God sendis bute for baill,
   And for murnyng remeid,
In dern with thee bot gif I daill
   Dowtles I am bot deid.'

'Makyne, to-morn this ilka tyde
   And ye will meit me heir,
Peraventure my scheip may gang besyde,
   Quhyle we haif liggit full neir;
But mawgre haif I, and I byde,
   Fra they begin to steir;
Quhat lyis on heart I will nocht hyd;
   Makyn, then mak gude cheir.'

'Robin, thou reivis me roiff and rest;
   I luve bot thee allane.'
'Makyne, adieu! the sone gois west,
   The day is neir-hand gane.'
'Robin, in dule I am so drest
   That luve will be my bane.'
'Ga luve, Makyne, quhair-evir thow list,
   For lemman I luve nane.'

'Robin, I stand in sic a styll,
   I sicht and that full sair.'
'Makyne, I haif been here this quhyle;
   At hame God gif I wair.'
'My huny, Robin, talk ane quhyll,
   Gif thow will do na mair.'
'Makyn, sum uthir man begyle,
   For hamewart I will fair.'

Robin on his wayis went
   As light as leif of tre;
Makyne murnit in hir intent,
   And trowd him nevir to se.
Robin brayd attour the bent:
   Then Makyne cryit on hie,
'Now may thow sing, for I am schent!
   Quhat alis lufe at me?'

Makyne went hame withowttin fail,
   Full wery eftir cowth weip;
Then Robin in a ful fair daill
   Assemblit all his scheip.
Be that sum part of Makynis aill
   Out-throw his hairt cowd creip;
He fallowit hir fast thair till assaill,
   And till her tuke gude keip.

'Abyd, abyd, thow fair Makyne,
   A word for ony thing;
For all my luve, it sall be thyne,
   Withowttin departing.
All haill thy hairt for till haif myne
   Is all my cuvating;
My scheip to-morn, quhyle houris nyne,
   Will neid of no keping.'

'Robin, thow hes hard soung and say,
   In gestis and storeis auld,
The man that will nocht quhen he may
   Sall haif nocht quhen he wald.
I pray to Jesu every day,
   Mot eik thair cairis cauld
That first preissis with thee to play
   Be firth, forrest, or fauld.'

'Makyne, the nicht is soft and dry,
   The weddir is warme and fair,
And the grene woid rycht neir us by
   To walk attour all quhair:
Thair ma na janglour us espy,
   That is to lufe contrair;
Thairin, Makyne, baith ye and I,
   Unsene we ma repair.'

'Robin, that warld is all away,
   And quyt brocht till ane end:
And nevir agane thereto, perfay,
   Sall it be as thow wend;
For of my pane thow maid it play;
   And all in vane I spend:
As thow hes done, sa sall I say,
   "Murne on, I think to mend."'

'Makyne, the howp of all my heill,
   My hairt on thee is sett;
And evirmair to thee be leill
   Quhill I may leif but lett;
Never to faill as utheris feill,
   Quhat grace that evir I gett.'
'Robin, with thee I will nocht deill;
   Adieu! for thus we mett.'

Makyne went hame blyth anneuche
   Attour the holttis hair;
Robin murnit, and Makyne leuche;
   Scho sang, he sichit sair:
And so left him baith wo and wreuch,
   In dolour and in cair,
Kepand his hird under a huche
   Amangis the holttis hair.

Robin and Malkin

Robene sat on gud grene hill,
Kepand a flok of fe;
Mirry Makyne said him till,
"Robene, thow rew on me;
I haif the luvit lowd and still,
Thir yeiris two or thre;
My dule in dern bot gif thow dill,
Dowtless but dreid I de."

Robene answerit, "Be the rude,
Nathing of lufe I knaw,
Bot keipis my scheip undir yone wid,
Lo quhair they raik on raw:
Quhat hes marrit the in thy mude,
Makyne, to me thow schaw;
Or quhat is lufe, or to be lude?
Fane wald I leir that law."

"At luvis lair gife thow will leir,
Tak thair ane a b c;
Be heynd, courtass, and fair of feir,
Wyse, hardy, and fre;
So that no denger do the deir,
Quhat dule in dern thow dre;
Preiss the with pane at all poweir,
Be patient and previe."

Robene anserit hir agane,
"I wait nocht quhat is luve;
But I haif mervell in certane
Quhat makis the this wanrufe:
The weddir is fair, and I am fane,
My scheip gois haill aboif;
And we wald play us in this plane,
Thay wald us bayth reproif."

"Robene, tak tent unto my taill,
And wirk all as I reid,
And thow sall haif my hairt all haill,
Eik and my maidenheid.
Sen God sendis bute for baill
And for murnyng remeid,
In dern with the bot gif I daill,
Dowtles I am bot deid."

"Makyne, to morne this ilk a tyde,
And ye will meit me heir,--
Peraventure my scheip may gang besyd,
Quhill we haif liggit full neir;
Bot mawgre haif I and I byd,
Fra thay begin to steir;
Quhat lyis on hairt I will nocht hyd;
Makyn, than mak gud cheir."

"Robene, thow reivis me roif and rest;
I luve bot the allane."
"Makyne, adew, the sone gois west,
The day is neir hand gane."
"Robene, in dule I am so drest,
That lufe wilbe my bane."
"Ga lufe, Makyne, quhair evir thow list,
For lemman I lue nane."

"Robene, I stand in sic a styll;

"Makyne, I haif bene heir this quhyle;
At hame God gif I wair."
"My huny, Robene, talk ane quhyle,
Gif thow will do na mair."
"Makyne, sum uthir man begyle,
For hamewart I will fair."

Robene on his wayis went
Als licht as leif of tre;
Mawkin murnit in hir intent,
And trowd him nevir to se.
Robene brayd attour the bent;
Than Mawkyne cryit on hie,
"Now ma thow sing, for I am schent!
Quhat alis lufe at me?"

Mawkyne went hame withowttin faill,
Full wery eftir cowth weip.
Than Robene in a ful fair daill
Assemblit all his scheip.
Be that sum pairte of Mawkynis aill
Outthrow his hairt cowd creip;
He fallowit hir fast thair till assaill,
And till hir tuke gude keip.

"Abyd, abyd, thow fair Makyne,
A word for ony thing;
For all my luve it sal be thyne,
Withowttin depairting.
All haill thy harte for till haif myne
Is all my cuvating;
My scheip to morne quhill houris nyne
Will neid of no keping."

"Robene, thow hes hard soung and say,
In gestis and storeis auld,
'The man that will nocht quhen he may
Sall haif nocht quhen he wald.'
I pray to Jesu every day
Mot eik thair cairis cauld,
That first preissis with the to play,
Be firth, forrest, or fauld."

"Makyne, the nicht is soft and dry,
The wedder is warme and fair,
And the grene woid rycht neir us by
To walk attour all quhair;
Thair ma na janglour us espy,
That is to lufe contrair;
Thairin, Makyne, bath ye and I
Unsene we ma repair."

"Robene, that warld is all away
And quyt brocht till ane end,
And nevir agane thairto perfay
Sall it be as thow wend;
For of my pane thow maid it play,
And all in vane I spend;

And evirmair to the be leill,
Quhill I may leif but lett;
Nevir to faill, as utheris feill,
Quhat grace that evir I gett."
"Robene, with the I will nocht deill;
Adew, for thus we mett."

Malkyne went hame blyth annewche,
Attour the holttis hair;
Robene murnit, and Makyne lewche;
Scho sang, he sichit sair;
And so left him, bayth wo and wrewche,
In dolour and in cair,
Kepand his hird under a huche,
Amangis the holtis hair.

The Night is Near Gone

HEY! now the day dawis;
The jolly cock crawis;
Now shroudis the shawis
   Thro' Nature anon.
The thissel-cock cryis
On lovers wha lyis:
Now skaillis the skyis;
   The nicht is neir gone.

The fieldis ouerflowis
With gowans that growis,
Quhair lilies like low is
   As red as the rone.
The turtle that true is,
With notes that renewis,
Her pairty pursuis:
   The nicht is neir gone.

Now hairtis with hindis
Conform to their kindis,
Hie tursis their tyndis
   On ground quhair they grone.
Now hurchonis, with hairis,
Aye passis in pairis;
Quhilk duly declaris
   The nicht is neir gone.

The season excellis
Through sweetness that smellis;
Now Cupid compellis
   Our hairtis echone
On Venus wha waikis,
To muse on our maikis,
Syne sing for their saikis--
   'The nicht is neir gone!'

All courageous knichtis
Aganis the day dichtis
The breist-plate that bright is
   To fight with their fone.
The stoned steed stampis
Through courage, and crampis,
Syne on the land lampis:
   The nicht is neir gone.

The freikis on feildis
That wight wapins weildis
With shyning bright shieldis
   At Titan in trone;
Stiff speiris in reistis
Ouer corseris crestis
Are broke on their breistis:
   The nicht is neir gone.

So hard are their hittis,
Some sweyis, some sittis,
And some perforce flittis
   On ground quhile they grone.
Syne groomis that gay is
On blonkis that brayis
With swordis assayis:--
   The nicht is neir gone.

A Red, Red Rose

O my Luve's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly play'd in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry:

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun:
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare thee well, my only Luve
And fare thee well, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' it were ten thousand mile.

An Fouqué

Kann nicht reden, kann nicht schreiben,
Kann nicht sagen, wie mir ist!
Mir ist wohl und bang im Herzen,
Kann nicht ernst sein, kann nicht scherzen,
Kann nicht wissen, wie mir ist.

Mit der Arbeit will's nicht vorwärts.
Wie so leer es um mich ist.
Wie so voll ist's mir im Herzen!
Kann nicht ernst sein, kann nicht scherzen,
Kann nicht wissen, wie mir ist.

Kann nur fühlen, kann nicht wissen,
Kann nicht sagen, was es ist,
Könnt ich singen, liebes Leben,
Würden Töne Kunde geben,
Wie es mir im Herzen ist.

Lusty May

O LUSTY May, with Flora queen!
The balmy dropis from Phoebus sheen
Preluciand beams before the day:
By that Diana growis green
Through gladness of this lusty May.

Then Esperus, that is so bricht,
Til woful hairtis castis his light,
With bankis that bloomis on every brae;
And schouris are shed forth of their sicht
Through gladness of this lusty May.

Birdis on bewis of every birth,
Rejoicing notis makand their mirth
Richt plesantly upon the spray,
With flourishingis o'er field and firth
Through gladness of this lusty May.

All luvaris that are in care
To their ladies they do repair
In fresh morningis before the day,
And are in mirth ay mair and mair
Through gladness of this lusty May.

Du Bist Nicht Wie Wir

Ist doch nur wasser
Wenn ein fremder weint
Bitte klar trennen
Wenn was unklar scheint
Angst von neuem -
Hier weht ein anderer wind
Bekannte gesichter
Wo alle wie blinde sind
Augen wie wir
Muender wie wir
- doch es tut uns leid:
Du bist nicht wie wir
Nicht wie wir
Nein, du bist nicht wie wir
Nicht wie wir
Nicht wie wir
Nein, du bist nicht wie wir
Die menge macht sicher
Wenn man beherrschen will
Ein klares feindbild
Macht viele ganz still
Hier kann ein jeder
Sagen, was sache ist
Nur da sollst du singen
Wo dein brot du frisst
Augen wie wir
Muender wie wir
- doch es tut uns leid:
Du bist nicht wie wir
Nicht wie wir
Nein, du bist nicht wie wir
Nicht wie wir
Nicht wie wir

Auf Sich Selbst

Ich habe nicht stets Lust zu lesen.
Ich habe nicht stets Lust zu schreiben.
Ich habe nicht stets Lust zu denken;
Kurzum, nicht immer zu studieren.

Doch hab ich allzeit Lust zu scherzen.
Doch hab ich allzeit Lust zu lieben.
Doch hab ich allzeit Lust zu trinken;
Kurz, allezeit vergnuegt zu leben.

Verdenkt ihr mirs, ihr sauern Alten?
Ihr habt ja allzeit Lust zu geizen;
Ihr habt ja allzeit Lust zu lehren;
Ihr habt ja allzeit Lust zu tadeln.

Was ihr tut, ist des Alters Folge.
Was ich tu, will die Jugend haben.
Ich goenn euch eure Lust von Herzen.
Wollt ihr mir nicht die meine goennen?

Flieh Mit Mir

Kalte Sonne, schon tausend mal bist Du erfroren
Wirst Du mich finden, warum suchst Du nicht in Deinem Kopf
Und alle schweigen, niemand hilft Dir, diesen Weg zu gehen
Kannst Du ihn finden, oder bist Du nicht bereit
Bleib nicht stehen (geh' nicht wieder zurck)
Und wieder warten, alte Wunden brechen mehrmals auf
Und dennoch zgerst Du ...
Geh nicht zurck, bleib nicht stehen
Flieh mit mir - ein letztes mal
Schwere Stille - Dein Blick ist starr, verdunkelt mich
Das Licht erloschen, jeder trgt sein altes Gesicht
Lass uns endlich ndern, was ewig gleich geblieben ist
Wozu noch warten?
Geh nicht zurck, bleib nicht stehen
Flieh mit mir - ein letztes
mal

A Red Red Rose

your eyes shine like dawn sky
your smile a field of light grass
tiptoeing in the spring wind
your laughter the rich roar
of a sleek shiny limousine
your walk a smart pedigree
german sherpherd up for grab
your hair a stage of virtuoso ballet dancers
executing their pristine pose
ever since you wandered into my world
gentle as the morning mist
my mind has turned into a theatre
your every feature i refine for a dose of romance
my warm bed a sea of expectations
you could tell from how the blankets
fold and turn in the fashion of a red red rose

inspired by

A Red, Red Rose
-
Oh my luve is like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June:
Oh my luve is like the melodie,
That's sweetly play'd in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only luve!
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my luve,
Tho' it were ten thousand mile!

bonie Doon

Ye flowery banks o' bonie Doon,
How can ye blume sae fair?
How can ye chant, ye little birds,
And I sae fu' o' care?

Thou'll break my heart, thou bonie bird,
That sings upon the bough;
Thou minds me o' the happy days,
When my fause luve was true.
Thou'll break my heart, thou bonie bird,
That sings beside thy mate;
For sae I sat, and sae I sang,
And wist na o' my fate.

Aft hae I roved by bonie Doon
To see the woodbine twine,
And ilka bird sang o' its luve,
And sae did I o' mine.

Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose
Frae aff its thorny tree;
And my fause luver staw my rose
But left the thorn wi' me.

The Banks O' Doon (1st version)

Sweet are the banks-the banks o' Doon,
The spreading flowers are fair,
And everything is blythe and glad,
But I am fu' o' care.
Thou'll break my heart, thou bonie bird,
That sings upon the bough;
Thou minds me o' the happy days
When my fause Luve was true:
Thou'll break my heart, thou bonie bird,
That sings beside thy mate;
For sae I sat, and sae I sang,
And wist na o' my fate.

Aft hae I rov'd by bonie Doon,
To see the woodbine twine;
And ilka birds sang o' its Luve,
And sae did I o' mine:
Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose,
Upon its thorny tree;
But my fause Luver staw my rose
And left the thorn wi' me:
Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose,
Upon a morn in June;
And sae I flourished on the morn,
And sae was pu'd or noon!

Robert Burns

The Banks O' Doon (2nd version)

Ye flowery banks o' bonie Doon,
How can ye blume sae fair?
How can ye chant, ye little birds,
And I sae fu' o care!
Thou'll break my heart, thou bonie bird,
That sings upon the bough!
Thou minds me o' the happy days
When my fause Luve was true.
Thou'll break my heart, thou bonie bird,
That sings beside thy mate;
For sae I sat, and sae I sang,
And wist na o' my fate.

Aft hae I rov'd by bonie Doon,
To see the woodbine twine;
And ilka bird sang o' its Luve,
And sae did I o' mine.
Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose,
Upon its thorny tree;
But my fause Luver staw my rose,
And left the thorn wi' me.
Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose,
Upon a morn in June;
And sae I flourished on the morn,
And sae was pu'd or noon.

Morgenstern

Sie ist hsslich dass es graut
wenn sie in den Himmel schaut
Dann frchtet sich das Licht
Scheint ihr von unten ins Gesicht
So muss sie sich am Tag verstecken
Will das Licht doch nicht erschrecken
Lebt im Schatten bis der Schein vergeht
Sieht einen Stern im Zwielicht prangen und fleht
Mal mir Schnheit auf die Wangen
Morgenstern ach scheine
auf das Antlitz mein
Wirf ein warmes Licht
auf mein Ungesicht
Sag mir ich bin nicht alleine
Hsslich, du bist hsslich
Ich bin allein zur Nacht gegangen
Die spten Vgel nicht mehr sangen
Sah Sonnenkinder im Gewimmel und so
rief ich in den gestirnten Himmel
Morgenstern ach scheine
auf die Liebste meine
Wirf ein warmes Licht
auf ihr Ungesicht
Sag ihr sie ist nicht alleine
Morgenstern ach scheine
auf die Seele meine
Wirf ein warmes Licht
auf ein Herz das bricht
Sag ihr dass ich weine
Denn du, du bist hsslich
Du bist einfach hsslich
Der Mensch ist doch ein Augentier
Schne Dinge wnsch' ich mir
Doch du, du bist nicht schn, nein
Morgenstern ach scheine
auf die Liebste meine
Wirf ein warmes Licht
auf ihr Ungesicht
Sag ihr sie ist nicht alleine
Und der Stern will scheinen
Auf die Liebste meine
Wrmt die Brust mir bebt
wo das Leben schlgt
Mit dem Herzen sehen
Sie ist wunderschn

Sag Mir - Was Meinst Du?

Du bist nicht still
Dir hrt man gerne zu
Mit dir vergeht, Ewigkeit wie im Flug
was du erzhlst,
klingt alles gut,
doch was am ende zhlt ist was du tust.
Fr immer dein,
und endlich tief geliebt
das soll ich sein
doch nichts geschieht
wie'n wasserfall
versprichst du immer mehr
am Himmel sind schon keine Sterne mehr.
Komm sag mir nicht
sag mir nicht,sag mir nicht, sag mir nicht, dass du mich magst
wenn du
wenn du nie, wenn du nie tust was du sagst.
yeah i yeah ...
liebe ist nicht nur ein Wort
mach sie wahr sonst geht sie fort
lass uns leben und nicht immer reden
Du spekulierst
und formulierst so schn
und du versprichst
die welt um nicht zu drehen
doch jeder plan
bleibt dann blo idee
wenn man ihn nicht gemeinsam lebt.
Komm sag mir nicht
sag mir nicht,sag mir nicht, sag mir nicht, dass du mich magst
wenn du
wenn du nie, wenn du nie tust was du sagst.
yeah i yeah ...
liebe ist nicht nur ein Wort
mach sie wahr sonst geht sie fort
lass uns leben und nicht immer reden
Und mein herz braucht keine worte es kann dich fhlen ohne hinzuhren
Was es sphrt sind doch die dinge die man die man nicht sagen kann
Sag mir was meinst du
sag mir nicht sag mir nicht
sag mir was meinst du
sag mir nicht sag mir nicht
yeah yeah yeah
sag mir nicht das du
sag mir nicht das du mich magst (dass du mich magst)
sag mir nicht,sag mir nicht, sag mir nicht das du mich magst
wenn du
wenn du nie, wenn du nie tust was du sagst.
yeah i yeah ...
liebe ist nicht nur ein Wort
mach sie wahr sonst geht sie fort
lass uns leben und nicht immer reden
sag mir was meinst du
sag mir nicht,sag mir nicht, sag mir nicht das du mich magst
wenn du
wenn du nie, wenn du nie tust was du sagst.
yeah i yeah ...
liebe ist nicht nur ein Wort
mach sie wahr sonst geht sie fort
lass uns leben und nicht immer reden
SAG MIR WAS MEINST DU!
