by Edwin Schultz (1827 - 1907)

Return to the original list

1. Es steht eine Lind' im tiefen Thal   [sung text not yet checked]
by Edwin Schultz (1827 - 1907), "Es steht eine Lind' im tiefen Thal ", op. 225 (Männerchöre) no. 2 [ men's chorus ], Berlin: Ed. Bote & G. Bock
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es steht eine Lind' [im tiefen]1Thal,
Darunter [bin so manches Mal,
          So manches Mal]2,
Mit meinem Lieb gesessen;
Jetzt steht der Baum so dürr und kahl,
Mein Schatz ist über [Berg und Thal,
          Ja Berg und Thal]3,
Der hat mich wohl vergessen!

Und auf dem Berg, da steht ein Haus,
Da ging mein Lieb [wohl ein und aus,
          Wohl ein und aus]4,
Und sah ins Thal hernieder; 
Jetzt tobet dort der Stürme Graus, 
Mein Schatz, der zog [ins Land hinaus,
          Ins Land hinaus]5,
Und kehret nimmer wieder!

Und ob dem Haus, da steht ein Stern, 
Der sieht mein Lieb [wohl in der Fern,
          Wohl in der Fern]6,
Fortwandeln durch die Gassen;
Ich hatte meinen Schatz so gern, 
Geklaget sei es [Gott dem Herrn,
          Ja Gott dem Herrn]7,
Daß er mich hat verlassen.

1.
Language: English 
A linden tree stands in [the]1 deep valley,
Under it, [many a time,
          Many a time]2,
I sat with my beloved;
Now the tree is dried out and bare,
My darling is gone [over hill and dale,
          Yes hill and dale]3,
He has likely forgotten me!

And upon the mountain there is a house,
My beloved went [in and out there,
          In and out]4,
And looked down into the valley;
Now the storms' gruesomeness rages there,
My darling has departed [out into the land,
          Out into the land]5,
And shall never return!

And over the house there is a star,
It sees my beloved well [out in the distance,
          Out in the distance]6,
Wandering on through the lanes;
I loved my darling so much,
I lament to [my Lord God,
          Yes, my Lord God],7
That he has forsaken me.
