Language: German (Deutsch)
Es geht ein Liedchen im Volke, Die Mädchen singen's zur Nacht, Wenn unter den [flüsternden Halmen]1 Im [Felde]2 die Sehnsucht erwacht. Das Lied vom zerbrochenen [Ringlein]3 Und von der Mühle im Grund, Die Wasser wogten und rauschten, Dem Burschen war gar so wund. Ich [sang's]4 so oft mit den Andern, Nun schleich' ich mich leise vorbei Und berge das Haupt in den Händen: "Das Ringlein sprang entzwei."

1. My little ring broke in two
Language: English
There is a song circulating among the people, The girls sing it at night, When, under the [whispering stalks]1 In the [field]2, yearning awakens. The song of the broken ring And of the mill in the vale, The waters surged and swooshed, The lad was oh, so heartsore. I sang it so often with the others, Now I creep quietly past them And bury my head in my hands: "My ring broke in two."

Grüßend schwenkt er seine Mütze Übern Zaun und ruft "Ade", Schaut zum letzen Mal herüber Nach dem Fleck, darauf ich steh'. Dann verhallt die frohe Stimme Und die Ferne spinnt ihn ein, Ihm vorauf auf allen Wegen Fliegt der goldne Sonnenschein. Wandervogel in der Mütze Denkt noch nicht an Nesterbau'n, Winkt und lacht mit Schelmenaugen Hierhin, dorthin übern Zaun.

2. Migratory bird
Language: English
He waves his hat in greeting Over the fence and calls "Adieu", For the last time he looks over To the spot upon which I stand. Then his joyful voice dies away And the distance catches him in its web, Ahead of him upon all his paths The golden sunshine flies. Migratory bird in his hat Does not yet think of building nests, With impish eyes he beckons and laughs Hither and yon over the fence.
