Im Walde

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE HEB ITA NOR POR POR SPA

Es zog eine Hochzeit den Berg entlang,
Ich hörte die Vögel schlagen,
Da blitzten viel Reiter, das Waldhorn klang,
Das war ein lustiges Jagen!

Und eh' ich's gedacht, war alles verhallt,
Die Nacht bedecket die Runde,
Nur von den Bergen rauschet der Wald
Und mich schauert im Herzensgrunde.

In het woud

NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Er trok een bruidsstoet de bergwand langs,
Ik hoorde de vogels zingen,
Daar blonken veel ruiters, de woudhoorn klonk;
Een jacht vol vrolijke dingen!
 
En vóór ik het dacht was alles verstild,
De nacht dekt weer de omgeving,
Slechts van de bergen nog ruist zacht het woud
En er vaart door mijn hart een beving.
