Der Tag ist gegangen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Jäger.
Der Tag ist gegangen
Hier irr' ich allein,
Wie graut mir hier außen!
O lass mich hinein.
Schäferin.
Hier innen ists dunkel,
Die Hütte ist klein,
Der Mond steht da draußen,
Du bist nicht allein.
Jäger.
Und willst du nicht öffnen,
So geh' ich in Wald
Und blase mein Hörnlein,
Das rüstig erschallt,
Und jage die Wolken
Vom Himmel wohl all',
Dann tanzen die Sterne
Zum lustigen Schall.
Schäferin.
Ich fühle, darfst glauben
Indessen kein Leid,
Ich treibe wohl träumend
Die Schäflein zur Weid.
Ich lausche dem Vogel,
Er singet von Scherz,
Ich liege bei Blumen,
Das bringet nicht Schmerz.

The day has passed away
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Hunter.
The day has passed away,
I roam about all alone.
How I am filled with dread out here!
Oh let me in.
Shepherdess.
Here inside it is dark,
The hut is small,
The moon is outside there,
You are not alone.
Hunter.
And if you do not want to open
Then I shall go into the forest
And blow my little horn
That rings out so lustily,
And shall chase all the clouds
From the heavens,
Then the stars shall dance
To the merry sound.
Shepherdess.
I feel, you may believe that,
No pain in the meantime,
Dreamily I drive
My little sheep to the meadow.
I listen to the bird,
It sings of jesting,
I lie by flowers,
That brings no pain.
