Im Feld ein Mädchen singt

(Sung text for setting by R. Stöhr)

See base text

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FIN FRE

Im Feld ein Mädchen singt... 
Vielleicht ist ihr Liebster gestorben,
Vielleicht ist ihr Glück verdorben,
Dass ihr Lied so traurig klingt.

Das Abendrot verglüht,
Die Weiden stehn und schweigen,
Und immer noch so eigen
Tönt fern das traurige Lied.

Der letzte Ton verklingt.
Ich möchte zu ihr gehen.
Wir müssten uns wohl verstehen,
Da sie so traurig singt.

Kedolla laulaa neito –

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Stöhr)

See original

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the German (Deutsch)

Kedolla laulaa neito – 
ehkä hänen rakkaimpansa on kuollut,
ehkä hänen onnensa on turmeltunut,
kun hänen laulunsa soi niin surullisena.

Iltaruskon hehku haihtuu pois –
raidat seisovat vaieten,
ja aina yhtä oudonkuuloisena
kaikuu  surullinen laulu jostain kaukaa.

Viimeinen sävel kuolee pois.
Tahtoisin mennä tytön luo.
Varmaan me ymmärtäisimme toisiamme,
kun hän kerran laulaa niin surullisesti.
