Jetzt wird sie wohl in dem Garten gehen,
Der blüht und glüht im Sommerlicht,
Und in der Ferne wird sie spähen,
Mich aber, ach, mich sieht sie nicht.
 
Und die Rose wird sie brechen
Mit stummer Wehmuth im Gesicht,
Und meinen Namen wird sie sprechen.
Ich aber, ach, ich hör' es nicht!

Now, she will surely go into the garden

(Sung text translation for setting by A. Zemlinsky)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Now, she will surely go into the garden,
Which blooms and glows in the sunlight,
And afar off she will peer about.
But me, ah! me she does not see.

And she will pluck a rose,
With wordless nostalgia on her face,
And then she’ll speak my name.
But I, ah! I will not hear it.
