Und über dich wohl streut der Wind
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG
Und über dich wohl streut der Wind
Die Blüten deines Baumes,
Du stehst und sinnst, die Träne rinnt
Fort, Bilder süssen Traumes.

Geht auch die Jugend schnell dahin
Und schnell der Lenz des Lebens,
O Kind, du hast dess kein Gewinn,
Die Tränen sind vergebens.

And over you the wind strews
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
And over you the wind strews
The blossoms of your tree,
You stand and ponder, the tears flow[;]
Away, you images of sweet dreams.

Even though youth passes rapidly away
And quickly the springtime of life,
Oh child, you have no benefit from it,
Your tears are for nought.
