Horch, wie schön die Geigen klingen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Horch, wie schön die Geigen klingen
Durch die warme Sommernacht,
Wie im Dorf die Mädchen singen,
Wie das kichert, wie das lacht!
  Unter'm Lindenbaum im Thal
  Blitzen Augen ohne Zahl,
Laßt im Tanz uns schwingen!

Einen Strauß dem Schatz an's Mieder,
Buntbebändert unser Hut
Und im Herzen frohe Lieder,
Hei! wie steht uns das so gut!
  Unter'm Lindenbaum im Thal
  Strömt von Zweig und Blatt zumal
Jugendlust hernieder!

Heut, da noch nicht Herbstzeitlosen
Blühen auf dem Erdenrund,
Laßt uns schwärmen, laßt uns kosen
Herz an Herz und Mund an Mund!
  Unter'm Lindenbaum im Thal
  Hält Gott Amor treue Wacht.
Streut uns rote Rosen!
