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!
