Vöglein im Birkenbaum
Language: German (Deutsch)
Vöglein im Birkenbaum
Singen hell,
Wellen mit weißem Schaum
Springen schnell,
Springen den Berg hinab
Sonder Ruh,
Tanzen dem Meeresgrab
Fröhlich zu,
Glitzern im Sonnenglanz
Silberlicht,
Wirbeln im tollen Tanz,
Rasten nicht.
So mit euch fliehn geschwind,
Welch ein Glück,--
Hieltest du süßes Kind
Mich nicht zurück!

Little birds in the birch tree
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Little birds in the birch tree
Sing brightly,
Waves with their white foam
Leap rapidly,
Leap down the mountain
Without rest,
Dance joyfully toward the
Ocean-grave,
Sparkle in the sunshine
With silvery light,
Whirl in a mad dance,
Do not rest.
Thus to fly rapidly with you --
What joy, --
If you sweet child did not
Hold me back!
