An die Nachtigall

(Sung text for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

  Bleibe hier und singe,
Liebe Nachtigall!
Dein Gesang erklinge
Schmetternd überall.

  Flur und Waldung lauschet,
Alles hört dir zu;
Nicht ein Blättchen rauschet,
Bleiben all in Ruh.

 ... 

  Hör' ich recht, so brauset
Minder jetzt der Bach,
Da hier Stille hauset,
Läßt sein Toben nach.

  Bleibe hier und singe,
Liebe Nachtigall!
Dein Gesang erklinge
Schmetternd überall.

Aan de nachtegaal

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

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

Blijf toch hier, blijf zingen,
Lieve nachtegaal!
Jouw gezang moet dringen
Door tot allemaal.

Veld en bossen luist'ren,
Jou aanhoort het al;
'k Hoor geen blaadje fluist'ren,
Rust is overal.

 ... 

Hoor ik 't goed, ook minder
Luid bruist nu de beek;
Stil dus als een vlinder
Houdt zich ook de kreek.

Blijf toch hier, blijf zingen,
Lieve nachtegaal!
Jouw gezang moet dringen
Door tot allemaal.
