Am Brunnen vor dem Thore
Da steht ein Lindenbaum:
Ich träumt' in seinem Schatten
So manchen süßen Traum.

Ich schnitt in seine Rinde
So manches liebe Wort;
Es zog in Freud' und Leide
Zu ihm mich immer fort.

Ich mußt' auch heute wandern
Vorbei in tiefer Nacht,
Da hab' ich noch im [Dunkel]1
Die Augen zugemacht.

Und seine Zweige rauschten,
Als riefen sie mir zu:
Komm her zu mir, Geselle,
Hier findst du deine Ruh'!

Die kalten Winde bliesen
Mir grad' in's Angesicht,
Der Hut flog mir vom Kopfe,
Ich wendete mich nicht.

Nun bin ich manche Stunde
Entfernt von jenem Ort,
Und immer hör' ich's rauschen:
Du fändest Ruhe dort!

Ī flamoyriá
Language: Greek (Ελληνικά)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Stīn pýlī me tī vrýsī
Pothṓ tī flamoyriá,
Glyká na me koimísei
Ston ískio m’ óneira.
 
Charázō sto kormí tīs
Logákia agapītá,
Kai se chará kai lýpī,
S’ aytī́ tha rthō kontá.
 
Ki aytó loipón to vrády,
Tīn eplīsíasa,
Kai sto vathý skotádi,
Ta mátia ékleisa.
 
Fōnī́ káthe klōnári
Paírnei ap’ ton ánemo:
Gia éla, palīkári,
Na vreis galī́nī edṓ!
 
San dérnoyn krýoi anémoi
Sfodrá sto prósōpo,
Kai to kapélo feýgei,
Den stréfomai na dō.
 
Ki an kápoia ṓra týchei
Na apomakrynthṓ,
To déntro psithyrízei:
Na ’rthō n’ anapaythṓ.
