Tomorrow

And tomorrow the sun will shine again,
and on the path I will take,
it will unite us again, we happy ones,
upon this sun-breathing earth...

And to the shore, the wide shore with blue waves,
we will descend quietly and slowly;
we will look mutely into each other's eyes
and the silence of happiness will settle upon us.

Morgen

Morgen, Op. 27, No. 4, Preston Lim and Lawrence Chiou

The Drummer Boy

If my mother could work magic 
she would go off with the regiment to France. 
She would go everywhere with them
and be a camp follower selling supplies.
In camp at midnight
when there is noone up except the watch
and everybody is snoring, horses and men,
that's when I would sit in front of my drum.

The drum would turn into a bowl
with warm sauerkraut in it
The drumsticks, knife and fork,
a long sausage - that was my sabre.

My shako would be a good mug
that I would fill with burgundy's blood.
And because I would not have a light
the moon would shine into my tent.

Even if it was shining in French
I would still be reminded of my love.
Oh dear! That's brought the fun to an end.
If only my mother could work magic.
