To his spirit I confess
A longing consumes his beautiful face
It wearies, shaded from goodness, being almighty
His body lies still
Dreaming, he finally forgets his compulsion
I don't recognize the roar of jubilation
That destroys the holy peace for me
His silent mouth, his sleeping chest
Awaiting delicately for sweet desire
His body lies still
Dreaming, he finally forgets his compulsion

All that is my own
Where land and water meet
Where on my soul I sit upon my bed
Your ways have led me to bleed
Text: Heinrich Heine
Baritone: Matthias Goerne
Piano: Christoph Eschenbach
An English translation of Heine's poem appears in the video.
The original German:
Still ist die Nacht, es ruhen die Gassen,
In diesem Hause wohnte mein Schatz;
Sie hat schon längst die Stadt verlassen,
Doch steht noch das Haus auf dem selben Platz.
Da steht auch ein Mensch und starrt in die Höhe,
Und ringt die Hände, vor Schmerzensgewalt;
Mir graust es, wenn ich sein Antlitz sehe -
Der Mond zeigt mir meine eigne Gestalt.
Du Doppelgänger! du bleicher Geselle!
Was äffst du nach mein Liebesleid,
Das mich gequält auf dieser Stelle,
So manche Nacht, in alter Zeit?
THIS IS MY DAMNATION
THIS IS MY ONLY REGRET
THAT I EVER WAS BORN
THIS IS MY ONLY REGRET
THAT I EVER WAS BORN
THIS IS MY SACRIFICE
THIS IS MY LIFE
O, TO BE UNBORN
TO BE UNBORN
O, TO BE UNBORN
TO BE UNBORN

A longing consumes his beautiful face
It wearies, shaded from goodness, being almighty
His body lies still
Dreaming, he finally forgets his compulsion
I don't recognize the roar of jubilation
That destroys the holy peace for me
His silent mouth, his sleeping chest
Awaiting delicately for sweet desire
His body lies still
Dreaming, he finally forgets his compulsion

Seinem Geiste bekenne ich mich
Ein Sehnen verzehret sein schönes Gesicht
Das ermattet von Güte beschattet allmächtig ist
Sein Körper bewegt sich nicht
Im Traume sich endlich sein Zwingen vergisst
Den heulenden Jubel erkenne ich nicht
Der mir den heiligen Frieden zerbricht
Sein schweigender Mund, seine schlafende Brust
Harren zärtlich der süßen Lust
Sein Körper bewegt sich nicht
Im Traume sich endlich sein Zwingen vergisst
