Linde durch die Linde
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
Linde durch die Linde,
Weh'n die Abendlüfte,
Weh'n mir in die Kammer,
Liederklang und Düfte.
Düfte von der Linde,
Lieder vom Geliebten
[Die seit manchem Abend
Mich gar sehr betrübten!]1
Vor [dem Thore]2 draußen,
Warum stehst Du wieder?
Muß ja weinen, weinen,
Hör' ich Deine Lieder!
Weinen, weil die Mutter,
Mir das Fenster wehret,
Und so schöne [Mondnacht]3
Nicht mehr wiederkehret.
[Singe]4 nicht von Liebe,
Singe nicht von Freude;
Stimme trüb die Saiten,
Sing' von meinem Leide!
Singe, Freund, die Mutter
Schmeichelnd mir in Schlummer;
[Oder sieh mich sterben,]5
Ach, vor Liebeskummer!

Gently through the linden tree
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Gently through the linden tree
The evening breezes blow,
Blow into my chamber
The sound of songs, and scents.
Scents from the linden tree,
Songs from my beloved,
[Which for many an evening already
Have saddened me greatly!]1
There outside the [gate,]2
Why are you standing again?
For I have to weep, weep,
When I hear your songs!
Weep, because my mother
Keeps me from the window,
And such a beautiful [moonlit night]3
Shall not come again.
[Do not sing]4 of love,
Do not sing of joy;
Tune your strings sadly,
Sing of my sorrow!
Sing, beloved, beguilingly
My mother into slumber;
[Or see me die,]5
Ah, for the sorrow of love!
