Jetzt kannst du's nimmer hören
Language: German (Deutsch)
Jetzt kannst du's nimmer hören,
Wenn ich mit leisem Strich
Den Bogen an die Saiten leg
Und rufe dich.
Jetzt kannst du's nimmer sehen,
Wenn spät nach Mitternacht
Mein Ämplein noch bei Blatt und Stift
Im Erker wacht.
Und kannst die schönen, weißen
Teerosen, die im Garten stehn
Und die ich noch für dich gepflanzt,
Auch nimmer sehn.
Und doch, wenn meine Geige
Allein noch wach im Hause ist,
Verspür ich's oft, daß du, mein Lieb,
Mir nahe bist.

Now you can no longer hear
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Now you can no longer hear
When with gentle stroke
I place my bow upon the strings
And call you.
Now you can no longer see
When long after midnight,
Beside page and pen, my little lamp
Is still awake in the bay window.
And the lovely white
Tea roses that stand in the garden
And which I still planted for you,
You can no longer see either.
And yet, when my violin
Alone is still awake in the house,
I often feel that you, my love,
Are close to me.
