Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Bei der Abendsonne Wandern,
Wenn ein Dorf den Strahl verlor,
Klagt ein Dunkeln es dem andern
Mit vertrauten Tönen vor.

 ... 

Noch ein Glöcklein hat geschwiegen
Auf der Höhe bis zuletzt.
Nun beginnt es sich zu wiegen,
Horch, mein Kilchberg läutet jetzt!

Requiem

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Stöhr)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

At the wandering of the evening sun,
When a village has lost the sunbeam,
One darkening laments it to another
With familiar tolling tones.

 ... 

One more little bell had remained silent
Upon the heights until the end.
Now it begins to sway,
Hark, my Kilchberg is now ringing!”

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