Der Sommer geht zu Ende
Language: German (Deutsch)
Der Sommer geht zu Ende,
Ach Liebchen, gehst auch du
Und läßt mich ohne Ruh'
Bei dieser Sonnenwende?
Wenn alle Vöglein fliehen
Und keines bleiben will,
Dann wird's im Walde still,
Bis sie zurücke ziehen;
Doch wen verläßt die Liebe,
Dem ist's im Herzen gar,
Als ob viel tausend Jahr'
Der eine Winter bliebe.

The summer approaches its end
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The summer approaches its end,
Ah darling, are you too departing
And leaving me without peace
At this solstice?
When all the little birds flee
And none of them wishes to stay,
Then it grows quiet in the forest
Until they return;
But he whom love forsakes,
In his heart he feels
As if for many thousands of years
There has been an unending winter.
