Jugenderinn'rung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Altverscholl'ne Lieder steigen
Mir empor mit frischem Klang,
Wieder tönt der muntre Reigen
Und der Zecher Rundgesang.
Mich fasst es mit Lust und mit Schmerzengewalt -
O goldene Zeit, wie schwandest du bald.

Dort bin ich hinausgezogen
Mit der Jäger wildem Schwarm.
Damals spannt' den schweren Bogen
Noch so leicht mein starker Arm.
Des Jagdhorns Ruf nun umsonst mir erschallt -
O goldene Zeit, wie schwandest du bald.

Dort die Schwelle meiner Lieben,
Wo ich nächtlich Lieder sang.
Kaum ein Hauch ist mir geblieben
Von dem reichen Liebesklang.
Mich grüsst noch im Traume die holde Gestalt -
O goldene Zeit, wie schwandest du bald.

Youthful memory
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
Forgotten songs are coming to my mind 
With a fresh sound;
Again, the carouser’s happy roundelay
Is clinking.
Desire and pain are grasping me.
O golden times, how soon were you gone.

There, I went out 
With the wild hunters;
Back then, my strong arm 
Drew the bow.
Now the hunting lodge is calling me in vain.
O golden times, how soon were you gone.

There is my beloved’s door,
Where I used to sing nocturnal songs.
The loving sound is barely
Left with any breeze.
My love is greeting me in my dreams.
O golden times, how soon were you gone.
