English translations of Drei Lieder für 1 Singstimme mit Begleitung des Pianoforte, opus 87
by Ferdinand Sieber (1822 - 1895)
Jetzt wird sie wohl [im]1 Garten gehen, Der blüht und glüht im [Sonnenlicht]2, Und in [die]3 Ferne wird sie spähen, Mich aber, ach, mich sieht sie nicht. Und [eine]4 Rose wird sie brechen Mit stummer Wehmuth im Gesicht, Und meinen Namen wird sie sprechen. Ich aber, ach, ich hör' es nicht!

Now, she will surely go into the garden, Which blooms and glows in the sunlight, And afar off she will peer about. But me, ah! me she does not see. And she will pluck a rose, With wordless nostalgia on her face, And then she’ll speak my name. But I, ah! I will not hear it.

Dürft' ich mit dir dort oben gehn, Du träumerischer Mond, Ich könnte wohl hinübersehn, Wo die Geliebte wohnt! Zu glücklich ist die Nachtigall, Die in dem Lindenbaum Vor ihrem Haus mit süßem Schall Durchklinget ihren Traum!

If I could travel with you up there, You dreamful moon, I might well be able to see over To where my beloved lives! Too happy is the nightingale That in the linden tree In front of her house fills Her dreams with sweet sound!

O break not, footbridge, you shake so very much, O fall not, rocks on the cliff, you seem so threateningly heavy, World, do not end, and sky, do not fall, Until I may be with my beloved!
