Still wie die Nacht
Music by Karl Böhm
Still wie die Nacht
tief wie das Meer,
soll deine Liebe sein!
Still wie die Nachte
Tief wie das Meer
Soll deine Liebe, deine Liebe sein,
Soll deine Liebe sein!
Wenn du mich liebst,
so wie ich dich,
will ich dein Eigen sein.
Heiß wie der Stahl
und fest wie der Stein
soll deine Liebe, deine Liebe sein!
Soll deine Liebe sein!

Calm as the night,
deep as the sea,
Should be thy love for me!
If love like mine
glow in thy heart,
I am forever thine.
Fervent as steel,
and firm as the hills.
Should be thy love for me!
Translation from German to (singable)English by Nathan Haskell Dole (Lieder.net)
Elisabeth Schumann (13 June 1888 - 23 April 1952) was a German lyric soprano. She was known for her sparkling stage presence and her playfulness (and from her photos, it looks like mischievousness too:). She loved dogs, and liked being photographed with them. She had a full and long career, and was an audience favorite!
Played with a Victor No. 4 soundbox and a medium Burmese Colour Needle (thorn).
