1. Sweet chimes are softly filling my soul
Language: English
Sweet chimes are softly filling my soul; Ring, little springtime-song Ring out: far and wide. Go forward till you reach the house, where the violets bloom; And if you see a rose, give her my greetings.

Dort unterm Lindenbaume In linder Sommernacht Hab ich im süßen Träume, Süß Liebchen, dein gedacht. Und als ich rief im Träume Den liebsten Namen dein, Da rauschten im Lindenbaume Viel liebe Melodein.

Nun bin ich von dem Singen Erwacht im Morgenschein, Und hör' noch immer klingen Den liebsten Namen dein.

Language: English
There, beneath the linden tree On a balmy summer night I did, in my sweetest dreams, Sweet darling, think of you. And when within the dream I called out Your most beloved name, Through the linden tree there rustled Many delightful melodies. The golden branches resounded With an utterly wonderful sound, The golden birds sang, An utterly wonderful song. And now, from their singing, I have awakened in morning’s light, And I still hear, echoing around me, Your most beloved name.

Leis' rudern hier, mein Gondolier! Die Flut vom Ruder sprühn so leise laß, daß sie uns nur vernimmt, zu der wir zieh'n! O könnte, wie er schauen kann, der Himmel reden -- traun, Er spräche vieles wohl von dem, was Nachts die Sterne schau'n! Nun rasten hier, mein Gondolier! Ins Boot die Ruder! sacht! [Auf]1 zum Balkone schwing' ich mich, doch du hältst unten Wacht, O, wollten halb so eifrig nur dem Himmel wir uns weih'n, Als schöner Weiber [Dienste]2 -- trau'n, wir könnten Engel sein!

3. Gondola-song
Language: English
Row softly here, My gondolier! Let the flood spray from the oar so quietly That only she perceives us -- She, to whom we travel! Oh if Heaven could speak As it can see -- truly, It would speak much of that Which the stars see at night! Now rest here, My gondolier! Take the oars into the boat! Gently! [Up] 1 to the balcony I swing myself, But you keep watch down below, Oh, if only half as assiduously We would dedicate ourselves to Heaven, As we do to the service of beautiful women -- truly, We could be angels!

I have an elderly aunt, Who has a small, old book; Lying in the old book - An old, dry leaf. So very dry, as well, are the hands Which once plucked it while in bloom. What then does the elderly one do? She weeps when she sees it.
