Der Vollmond scheint in mein Fenster
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FIN
Der Vollmond scheint in mein Fenster,
der Himmel sternenklar blinkt,
im blühenden Nachbargarten
laut eine Nachtigall singt.
Der weisse Holunder duftet
schwer in mein Zimmer hinein,
auf meines Bettes Kissen
fällt der Mondenschein.
Die Nachtigall singt im Garten,
hell ist der Mondenschein,
schwer duftet der Holunder,
und ich bin so allein.

The full moon shines
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
The full moon shines in my window,
the sky twinkles bright with stars,
in [the] neighbor’s blooming garden
loudly a nightingale sings.
The white elderberry
wafts its scent heavily into my room,
The moonlight falls
on [the] pillow [on] my bed.
The nightingale sings in the garden,
the moonlight is bright,
heavily wafts the elderberry,
and I am so alone.
