Es rauschet das Wasser
Und bleibet nicht stehn;
Gar lustig die Sterne
Am Himmel hin gehn;
Gar lustig die Wolken
Am Himmel hin ziehn;
So rauschet die Liebe
Und fähret dahin.
Er
Es rauschen die Wasser,
Die Wolken vergeh'n;
Doch bleiben die Sterne,
Sie wandeln und steh'n.
So auch mit der Liebe,
Der treuen, geschicht,
Sie wegt sich, sie regt sich,
Und ändert sich nicht.

The water rushes
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
She
The water rushes
And will not stay still;
The stars pass merrily
In the sky,
The clouds advance
Merrily in the sky,
And so Love rushes
And wanders there.
He
The waters are rushing,
The clouds dissolving;
Yet the stars remain:
They wander and hover.
And so it happens as well with Love,
The true kind:
It sways, it stirs,
And does not change.
