Dutch (Nederlands) translations of Sechs Lieder, opus 1

by Max Kowalski (1882 - 1956)

1. Helle Nacht  [sung text not yet checked]
by Max Kowalski (1882 - 1956), "Helle Nacht", op. 1 (Sechs Lieder) no. 4 [ medium voice and piano ]
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Weich küßt die Zweige
der weiße Mond.
Ein Flüstern wohnt
im Laub, als neige,
als schweige sich der Hain zur Ruh:
Geliebte du --

Der Weiher [ruht]1, und
die Weide schimmert.
Ihr Schatten flimmert
in seiner Flut, und
der Wind weint in den Bäumen:
wir träumen -- [träumen]2 --

Die [Weiten]3 leuchten
Beruhigung.
Die Niederung
hebt bleich den feuchten
Schleier hin zum Himmelssaum:
o hin -- o Traum -- --

1. Heldere nacht
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Zacht kust de twijg
de witte maan.
Een gefluister woont
in het loof, als ware het
alsof de adem zichzelf zwijgend tot rust brengt:
oh beminde jij --

De vijver rust, en 
De weide glinstert.
Haar schaduw schittert
in zijn stroom, en 
de wind huilt in de bomen:
wij dromen -- wij dromen --

De wijdtes stralen
berusting.
Het laagland
trekt bleek de vochtige
sluier op naar de hemelszoom:
oh op -- o droom -- --
