Heimliche Grüsse
Language: German (Deutsch)
O Irmingard, wie schön bist du,
Holdseliger ist keine;
Bei grünen Linden wandelst du
Im luftigen Sonnenscheine!
O Irmingard, wie silbern klingt
Dein Sang zu uns herüber;
Wie fliegen meine Grüße beschwingt
In euer Gärtlein hinüber!
Wie zage Vöglein bergen sie sich
Im tiefen Gezweig der Linden,
Doch wenn du wandelst und denkst an mich,
Magst du sie drinnen finden!

Secret greetings
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Oh Irmingard, how beautiful you are,
No woman is fairer;
You walk under the green lime trees
In the breezy sunshine!
Oh Irmingard, how silverly drifts
Your singing over to us;
How swiftly my greetings wing their way
Over to your little garden!
Like timid little birds they conceal themselves
In the deep branches of the lime trees,
But when you walk [beneath] and think of me,
May you find them [hiding] therein!
