Sängers Trost

(Sung text for setting by E. Zumsteeg)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Weint auch einst kein Liebchen
Tränen auf mein Grab,
Träufeln doch die Blumen
Milden Tau hinab;

Weilt an ihm kein Wandrer
Im Vorüberziehn,
Blickt auf seiner Reise
Doch der Mond dahin.

Denkt auf diesen Fluren
Bald kein Erdner mein,
Denkt doch mein die Aue
Und der stille Hain.

Blumen, Hain und Aue,
Stern und Mondenlicht,
Die ich sang, vergessen
Ihres Sängers nicht.

Troost voor de zanger

(Sung text translation for setting by E. Zumsteeg)

See original

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

Schreit er straks geen liefje
Tranen op mijn graf,
Milde dauw zal druppen
Van de bloemen af.
 
Blijft er in 't voorbijgaan
Dan geen wand'laar staan,
Toch kijkt op haar doortocht
Naar mij wel de maan.
 
Denkt in deze streken
Straks geen mens aan mij,
Doen 't de stille bossen
En de groene wei.
 
Bloemen, bos en weiden,
Sterren, maneschijn,
Bij hen zal hun zanger
Niet vergeten zijn.
