English translations of Drei Lieder für 1 Singstimme mit Pianoforte, opus 5
by Stephan Krehl (1864 - 1924)
Unter der Linde auf der Heide, da unser Bette war, da könnt ihr finden alle beide gebrochen, Blumen und auch Gras. Vor dem Walde in einem Tal, tandaradei, schön sang die Nachtigall. Ich kam gegangen zu der Aue und mein Liebster war schon dort. Da ward ich empfangen, heil'ge Jungfrau, daß ich bin selig fort und fort. Ob er mich küßte? Stund' um Stund', tandaradei, seht, wie rot mir noch der Mund! Dann hat er gerichtet weich und prächtig von Blumen eine Lagerstatt. Herzlich wird noch mancher lachen, kommt er daher den selben Pfad. An den Rosen er dann mag, tandaradei, merken, wo das Haupt mir lag. Wenn es jemand wüßte, wie er war, ach behüte Gott, wie schämt' ich mich! Wie oft er mich küßte, niemals jemand erfahre es, nur er und ich. Und ein kleines Vögelein, tandaradei, das wird wohl verschwiegen sein.

Under the linden tree on the moor, where we two had our bed, there you could find both things broken, flowers and grass, too. From the forest in a valley, tra-la-la, beautifully sang the nightingale. I came walking to the meadow, and my beloved was already there. There I was received -- holy Virgin!-- so that I go on and on being happy. Did he kiss me? Hour by hour, tra-la-la, see, how red my mouth still is! Then he had made up, soft and bright with flowers, a place to lie. Someone will still have a good laugh if he comes along the same path. One might see by the roses, tra-la-la, where my head lay. If anyone knew how he was, ah, God help me, how ashamed I would be! How often he kissed me, may no one ever know, only he and I. And a little bird, tra-la-la, that certainly will keep quiet.

Ach, was bin ich aufgewacht? Ob am Haus die Liebste klopft? Leise tönt es durch die Nacht -- „Schlaf' nur ein, Schlaf' nur ein! Regen an die Scheiben [tropft]1.” Warum klingt mir doch das Ohr? Spricht von mir das falsche Kind, Das mich aus dem Sinn verlor? -- „Schlaf' nur ein, Schlaf' nur ein! Heerdenglocken rührt der Wind.” Und sie sah im Traum mich an, Und sie sprach: Du glaubst es kaum, Was ich leide, süßer Mann! -- „Schlaf' nur ein, Schlaf' nur ein! Schlaf' ihn aus, den falschen Traum!”

1 Zemlinsky: "klopft"Ah, what has awoken me? Is it my sweetheart knocking? Softly it sounds through the night! "Go to sleep, just go to sleep! It is raindrops knocking at the window-pane." Why do I hear ringing in my ears? Is that false girl talking about me, she who thrust me out of her mind? "Go to sleep, just go to sleep! Cowbells are chiming from the wind." And she looked at me in the dream, and she said: You hardly believe what I suffer, sweet man! "Go to sleep, just go to sleep! Sleep it away - that false dream!"

Ein Stündlein sind sie beisammen gewes't, Ein Stündlein läuft so geschwind, Und saßen sich Herz an Herzen fest. Denn die Liebe, die kommt wie der Wind. Du junger Gesell, nun hüte dich fein, Nun hüte dich, schönes Kind, Und verriegele gut deines Herzens Schrein - Denn die Liebe, die geht wie der Wind!

One little hour they spent together, One little hour runs past so quickly! And they sat, heart firmly to heart. For Love - it arrives like the wind. You, young fellow, now beware! Beware, lovely maiden - and lock up well the cupboard of your heart - for Love - it departs like the wind!
