O Sonne, o Sonne, du ziehest
Wol über die Berge und Höh'n,
So grüße mein herziges Liebchen
Ich hab's heut' nimmer geseh'n.

O Sonne, dort drüben am Hause
Zwei Weiden, zwei Weiden wehn;
An ihrem offenen Fenster
Zwei Lorbeerrosen steh'n.

O scheidende Sonne, du ziehest
Wol über die Berge und Höh'n,
So grüße mein herziges Liebchen,
Die dunkeln5 Augen mir schön.

Oh sun, oh sun

(Sung text translation for setting by G. Jenner)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Oh sun, oh sun, you pass
Over the mountains and heights.
Greet then my lovely sweetheart;
I have not seen her at all today.
 
Oh sun, over yonder by the house
Two willows, two willows sway;
At her open window
Two mountain laurels stand.
 
Oh departing sun, you pass
Over the mountains and heights.
Greet then my lovely sweetheart,
Greet her dark eyes nicely for me.

"O Sonne, du ziehest wohl" = "Oh sun, you pass"
"Chor" = "Chorus"
