Die grauen Wolken streifen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die grauen Wolken streifen
Der alten Berge Rand,
Sie hüllen mir die Aussicht
Ins glückliche Niederland.
Doch über den grauen Wolken
Ist goldner Sonnenschein,
Da schwingt sich meine Liebe
Auf leichten Flügeln hinein.
Sie schwingt sich zu der Liebsten
Hinab in's ferne Thal,
Und spricht zu ihr: ich grüße
Dich viel, viel tausendmal!

The grey clouds streak
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The grey clouds streak
the edges of the venerable mountains,
they veil for me the view
of the happy lowland.
But above the grey clouds
is golden sunshine;
there my love resonates
On gossamer wings.
It vaults toward my beloved
down into the distant valley,
and speaks to her: I greet
you a thousand, thousand times!
