Lindes Rauschen in den Wipfeln
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE SPA
  Lindes Rauschen in den Wipfeln,
Vöglein, die ihr fernab fliegt,
Bronnen von den stillen Gipfeln,
Sagt, wo meine Heimat liegt?

  Heut' im Traum sah ich sie wieder,
Und von allen Bergen ging
Solches Grüßen zu mir nieder,
Daß ich an zu weinen fing.

  Ach! hier auf den fremden Gipfeln:
Menschen, Quellen, Fels und Baum --
Wirres Rauschen in den Wipfeln
Alles ist mir wie ein Traum.

Muntre Vögel in den Wipfeln,
Ihr Gesellen dort im Tal,
Grüßt mir von den fremden Gipfeln
Meine Heimat tausendmal!

Teder ruisen in de bomen
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Teder ruisen in de bomen,
Vogels die naar ver weg vliegt,
Bronnen uit de stille bergen,
Zeg mij waar mijn thuisland ligt!
 
In mijn droom zag ik ze heden
En van alle bergen sprong
Mij zo ‘n groet toe hier beneden,
Dat ik slechts nog schreien kon.
 
Ach! Hier op de vreemde bergen:
Mensen, bronnen, rots en boom –
Warrig ruisen in de kruinen,
Alles is mij als een droom!

Wakk’re vogels in de bomen,
Mijn gezellen ginds in ’t dal,
Vanaf deze vreemde hoogten
Groet mijn thuisland toch vooral!
