Fischerlied

(Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE

Das Fischergewerbe
Giebt rüstigen Muth!
Wir haben zum Erbe
Die Güter der Fluth.
Wir graben nicht Schätze,
Wir pflügen kein Feld;
Wir erndten im Netze,
Wir angeln uns Geld.

Wir heben die Reusen
Den Schilfbach entlang,
Und ruhn bei den Schleusen,
Zu sondern den Fang.
Goldweiden beschatten
Das moosige Dach;
Wir schlummern auf Matten
Im kühlen Gemach.

Visserslied

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Het vissermanshandwerk
Geeft stoerheid en moed!
Wij hebben als erfdeel
Wat leeft in de vloed.
Wij delven geen schatten,
Wij ploegen geen veld,
Wij oogsten met netten,
Wij vissen ons geld.

Wij zetten de fuiken
Langs rietbeken uit.
En gaan bij de sluizen
Sorteren de buit.
De goudwilg beschaduwt
Ons mossige dak;
Wij slapen op matten
In 'n koele barak.
