Das Waldhorn

(Sung text for setting by F. Silcher)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

  Wie lieblich schallt
  Durch Busch und Wald
Des Waldhorns süßer Klang!
  Der Wiederhall
  Im Eichental
Hallt's nach so lang -- so lang!
  (Echo: So lang -- so lang!)

 ... 

  Und jeder Baum
  Im weiten Raum
Dünkt uns wohl noch so grün;
  Es wallt der Quell
  Wohl noch so hell
Durch's Tal dahin -- dahin!
  (Echo: Dahin -- dahin!)

  Und jede Brust
  Fühlt neue Lust
Beim frohen Zwillingston;
  Es flieht der Schmerz
  Aus jedem Herz
Sogleich davon -- davon!
  (Echo: Davon -- davon!)

The Bugle

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Silcher)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

  How mellifluously resound
  Through bush and forest
The sweet tones of the bugle!
  The echo
  In the valley of oaks
Sounds it again so long -- so long!
  (Echo: So long -- so long!)

 ... 

  And every tree
  In the wide expanse
Still seems to us so green;
  The water-spring bubbles
  Still so brightly
Through the valley, onward  -- onward!
  (Echo: Onward -- onward!)

  And every breast
  Feels new joy
When it hears the twin tones;
  Pain flees
  From every heart
Immediately away -- away!
  (Echo: Away -- away!)

 ...
