Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Rote Abendwolken ziehn am Firmament,
Sehnsuchtsvoll nach dir,
Mein Lieb, das Herze brennt,
Himmel strahlt in glühnder Pracht,
Und ich träum bei Tag und Nacht
Nur allein von dem süßen Liebchen mein.

Rode avondwolken gaan langs ‘t firmament
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
Rode avondwolken gaan langs ‘t firmament,
Hunkering naar jou, mijn lief, mijn hart slechts kent,
De1 hemel straalt in vuur’ge pracht,
En ik droom, ja, dag en nacht
Van geen één dan mijn lieve schat alleen.
