Im Abendstrahl

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Da drüben im Abendstrahle
Steht glitzernd des Liebchens Haus!
Ich seh' es im tiefen Tale,
Doch, nimmer schaut's Liebchen heraus!

Es tun wohl vom Sonnenschimmer
Die Augen mir so weh,
Daß ich muß weinen immer,
So oft ich hinüber seh'!

In the beam of evening light

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Yonder in the beam of evening light
My beloved's house stands glittering!
I see it in the deep valley,
But my beloved never looks out!

It must because of the [bright] sunlight
That my eyes hurt so,
That I must always weep
When I look over to [the house]!
