Der Nussbaum

Language: German (Deutsch)

Es grünt ein Nußbaum vor dem Haus,
Luftig,
Duftig 
Breitet er blättrig die Äste aus.

Viel liebliche Blüten stehen dran;
Linde 
Winde 
Kommen, sie herzlich zu umfahn.

Es flüstern je zwei zu zwei gepaart,
Neigend, 
Beugend 
Zärtlich zum Kusse die Häuptchen zart.

Sie flüstern von meinem Mägdlein, das
Dächte
Nächte,
Tagelang, wüsste, ach! selber nicht was.

 ... 

Das Mägdlein horcht, es rauscht im Baum;
Sehnend, 
Wähnend 
Sinkt es lächelnd in Schlaf und Traum.

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Rheinberger)

See original

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

Er bloeit hier een notenboom voor het huis,
Geurend,
Beurend
Breidt hij zijn blaad'ren en takken uit.

Veel lieflijke bloesems staan er aan;
Milde
Winden
Komen, zij raken hen teder aan.

Zij fluisteren, twee aan twee gerijd,
Nijgend,
Buigend,
Sierlijk, tot kussen elkaar bereid.

Zij fluisteren over'n meisje,
Dat nachten
Lang wachtte
En piekerde, wetend - ach! - zelf niet wat.

 ... 

Het meisje luistert, zacht ruist de boom;
Smachtend,
Wachtend
Vindt zij glimlachend slaap en droom.
