English Singing Translation of:

Johannes Brahms: Rote Abendwolken, Opus 103, No. 8 (SMB #114)

(Red clouds of evening; text by Conrat, from the Hungarian)

Fiery clouds of evening move across the sky; How I long for you my love: my heart's afire. All the sky is glowing bright! And I dream by day and night: Dream I only of that sweet love of mine.

(Approx. performance timing: 1:13)
