In meiner Heimat

(Sung text for setting by R. Trunk)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

In meiner Heimat wird es jetzt Frühling,
Der grünt auf den ältesten Gräbern sogar,
Da klingen die Brunnen, da locken die Lieder,
Da wandert mit Kätzchen die Kinderschar.

In meiner Heimat lachen die Mädchen,
Die wilden Rosen erblühn im Gesträuch,
Und nachts die Sterne, die glänzen viel goldner,
Wohl tausendmal goldner als hier bei euch.

In my homeland

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Trunk)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

In my homeland it is now becoming spring,
Spring turns even the oldest graves green;
There the wells ring, there the songs beckon,
There the crowd of children walks with kittens.

In my homeland the maidens laugh,
The wild roses blossom in the bushes,
And at night the stars shine so gold,
A thousand times more gold than here with you.
