English translations of Fünfzehn Lieder, opus 7
by Hans Wolfgang Sachsse (1891 - 1960)
Über den Himmel Wolken ziehn, Über die Felder geht der Wind, Über die Felder wandert Meiner Mutter verlorenes Kind. Über die Straße Blätter wehn, Über den Bäumen Vögel schrein -- Irgendwo über den Bergen Muß meine ferne Heimat sein.

Across the [heavens]1 clouds [scud]2, Across the fields the wind [passes]3, Over the fields wanders The lost child of my mother. Across the street leaves blow, Over the trees birds shriek -- Somewhere over the mountains My distant homeland must lie.
