Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE SPA

  Lindes Rauschen in den Wipfeln,
Vöglein, die ihr fernab fliegt,
Bronnen von den stillen Gipfeln,
Sagt, wo meine Heimat liegt?

  Heut' im Traum sah ich euch wieder,
Und von allen Bergen ging
Solches Grüßen zu mir nieder,
Daß ich an zu weinen fing.

  Ach! hier auf den fremden Gipfeln:
Menschen, Quellen, Fels und Baum --
Wirres Rauschen in den Wipfeln
Alles ist mir wie ein Traum.

Muntre Vögel in den Wipfeln,
Ihr Gesellen dort im Tal,
Grüßt mir von den fremden Gipfeln
Meine Heimat tausendmal!

Doux bruissements dans les cimes

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Hensel)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Doux bruissements dans les cimes,
Petits oiseaux qui s'envolent au loin,
Sources des hauts sommets,
Dites-moi, où est ma patrie ?

Aujourd'hui, en rêve je vous revoyais,
Et de toutes les montagnes venaient
Vers moi de telles salutations
Que je me mis à pleurer.

Ah, ici sur des sommets étrangers :
Les hommes, sources, rochers, arbres -
Le bruissement confus des cimes,
Tout est pour moi comme dans un rêve !

Joyeux oiseaux dans les cimes,
Vous compagnons là-bas dans la vallée
Depuis ces sommets étrangers
Saluez mille fois ma patrie.
