Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

In der Früh, in der Früh, wenn die Sonne erwacht,
Vom Fenster bind ich die Reben,
Hab' geträumet von dir  ...  die ganze Nacht.
Grüß dich Gott, grüß dich Gott, du mein Leben!

 ... 

Und bei Nacht, bei der Sterne Schein,
Schlägt der Wind  ...  an's Fenster die Reben,
Wach ich auf, denk' ich dein, über's Jahr bist du mein,
Grüß Gott du mein Mädchen, grüß Gott!

All day and night

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Marx)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

In the early morning, in the early morning when the sun wakens,
From the window I bind the vines
I dreamt of you the whole night long.
God greet you, God greet you, you my life!

 ... 

And at night, and at night, by the shining of the stars,
When the wind whips the vines against my window
If I waken, I think of you, in a year you shall be mine,
God greet you, you my maiden, God greet you!

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1,3 of the original text.
