Friedrich Nietzsche - The Sun Sinks lyrics

1 Not much longer will you thirst, Burned heart! A promise is in the air, Blowing to me from unknown mouths — A great coolness comes ... My sun stood hot over me at noon: I welcome you, you that arrive As sudden winds — You cool spirits of afternoon! The air pa**es by strange and pure. Doesn't the night cast a furtive Seductive glance Towards me? ... Remain strong, my brave heart! Do not ask: why? — 2 Day of my life! The sun sinks. Already the smooth rising tide Stands gilded. The rock breathes warmth: Does happiness sleep well to noon In its midday slumber? In green lights Happiness still plays over the brown abyss. Day of my life! Towards evening it pa**es! Already your eye gleams Half-open, Already your dew wells up Teardrops, Already flowing quietly over white seas Your crimson love, Your final gradual bliss ... 3 Serenity, golden, come! You doomed More secret, sweeter anticipation of pleasure! — Did I run too quickly along my path? Just now, when my foot becomes weary, Your glance catches up with me, Your happiness catches up with me. Around me nothing but waves and play. Whatever was hard, Sank into blue oblivion, Now my boat lies idle. Storms and voyages—how they've been forgotten! Desire and hope have drowned, Smooth lie soul and sea. Seventh solitude! I've never felt Closer to sweet security, In the warmest glance of the sun. — Isn't the ice of my summit still white-hot? Silvery, light, a fish My bark now swims out...
