Über den Himmel Wolken ziehn
Language: German (Deutsch)
Über den Himmel Wolken ziehn, Über die Felder geht der Wind, Über die Felder wandert Meiner Mutter verlorenes Kind. Über die Straße Blätter wehn, Über den Bäumen Vögel schrein -- Irgendwo über den Bergen Muß meine ferne Heimat sein.

Over the fields
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Across the heavens clouds scud, Across the fields the wind passes, Over the fields wanders The lost child of my mother. Across the street leaves blow, Over the trees birds shriek -- Somewhere over the mountains My distant homeland must lie.
