English translations of Zwei Gesänge für dreistimmigen Frauenchor und Solovioline oder Violinchor, opus 8
by Franz Notz (b. 1867)
Im Abendrot der Himmel glüht, Die Sonne geht nun schlafen. Der Knabe bläst sein Abendlied Und zieht gemach durchs stille Ried Zur Hürde mit den Schafen. Sein Gruß schwebt noch der Sonne nach: "Fahr wohl! Wir sehn uns wieder. Bring morgen einen schönen Tag, Dann blas' ich durch den grünen Hag Dir meine schönsten Lieder."

The sky glows in the red of sunset, The sun is now going to sleep. The lad blows his evening song And moves calmly through the quiet reeds To the pen with his sheep. His greeting still wafts after the sun: "Farewell! We shall see each other again. Bring a beautiful day tomorrow, Then, through the green grove, I shall Blow my loveliest songs for you."

Die Glocken läuten das Ostern ein In allen Enden und Landen, Und fromme Herzen jubeln darein: Der Lenz ist wieder erstanden! Es atmet der Wald, die Erde treibt Und kleidet sich lachend mit Moose, Und aus den schönen Augen reibt Den Schlaf sich erwachend die Rose. Das schaffende Licht, es flammt und kreist Und sprengt die fesselnde Hülle; Und über den Wassern schwebt der Geist Unendlicher Liebesfülle.

The bells are ringing Easter in Everywhere and in all lands, And pious hearts rejoice therein: Spring has risen once more! The forest breathes, the earth burgeons And dresses itself laughingly with moss, And the rose in wakening rubs Sleep out of its beautiful eyes. The creating light, it flames and circles And bursts the constraining husk: And above the waters there wafts the spirit Of the infinite plenitude of love.
