O Sonne, o Sonne, du ziehest

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG FRE

O Sonne, o Sonne, du ziehest
Wol über die Berge und Höh'n,
So grüße mein herziges Liebchen
Ich hab's heut' nimmer geseh'n.

O Sonne, dort drüben am Hause
Zwei Weiden, zwei Weiden wehn;
Vor ihrem off'nen Fenster
Zwei Lorbeerrosen steh'n.

O scheidende Sonne, du ziehest
Wol über die Berge und Höh'n,
So grüße mein herziges Liebchen,
Die dunkeln5 Augen mir schön.

Oh sun, oh sun, you pass

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Add this translation to the Basket | Add tr by G. Jenner

Oh sun, oh sun, you pass
Over the mountains and heights.
Greet then my lovely sweetheart;
I have not seen her at all today.
 
Oh sun, over yonder by the house
Two willows, two willows sway;
In front of her open window
Two mountain laurels stand.
 
Oh departing sun, you pass
Over the mountains and heights.
Greet then my lovely sweetheart,
Greet her dark eyes nicely for me.
