Ferne Lieder
Language: German (Deutsch)
Rosen!
Ein Zypressenhain,
Alte Brunnen fließen.
Auf dem Meer im Abendschein
Schwarze Schwalben schießen.
Aus der weißen Villa dringt
Eine sanfte Klage:
Eine Frau, die spielt und singt
Lieder andrer Tage.
Eine große Stille spinnt,
die Fontänen steigen.
Und die fernen Lieder sind
Laut geword'nes Schweigen

Distant songs
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Roses!
A grove of cypress trees
Where ancient springs are flowing.
Over the sea in the twilight
Black swallows are darting.
From the white villa there comes
A gentle dirge:
A woman plays and sings
Songs of another day.
A great silence is spun,
The fountains rise.
And the distant songs are
A silence that becomes loud.
