Das ist doch schön eingericht'
Language: German (Deutsch)
Das ist doch schön [eingericht']1,
Daß Baum und Mondenlicht
Nicht dann und wann
Ausplaudern kann!
Schätzelein, schau einmal
Dort in das tiefe Thal,
Gestern, ja, ja,
Waren wir da!
Meinst du, die Sommernacht,
Habe nicht auch gewacht?
Das ganze Thal
Lauschte zumal.
Dich hat der Bach gesehn,
Dich sah das Mondlicht gehn,
Weit in die Rund
Ward es schon kund.
Und an des Baches Saum,
Da steht ein Lindenbaum,
Der aber -- der,
Der sah noch mehr!
Das ist doch schön eingericht',
Daß Baum und Mondenlicht
Nicht dann und wann
Ausplaudern kann!

It has indeed been beautifully arranged
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
It has indeed been beautifully arranged
That tree and moonlight
Cannot now and then
Divulge what they know!
Darling, look
Yonder into the deep valley,
Yesterday, yes, yes,
We were there!
Do you believe that the summer night
Was not watching as well?
The whole valley
Was eavesdropping.
The brook saw you,
The moonlight saw you walking,
Everywhere around
It had already been made known.
And at the bank of the brook
There stands a linden tree,
The tree now -- the tree
Saw even more!
It has indeed been beautifully arranged
That tree and moonlight
Cannot now and then
Divulge what they know!
