Hoffnungstrost

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

In meines Vaters Garten
Da stehen zwei Bäumelein,
Und wer die Äpfel pflücken will,
Muß steigen oben auf.

Die kleinen, roten Äpfelchen,
Die schmecken mir so süß,
Ach, wenn mein liebes Mütterchen
Mich doch heiraten ließ.

Hope’s consolation

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

In my father’s garden
Stand two little trees,
And whoever wants to pick the apples,
Must climb over [the wall]

The small, red apples,
Taste so sweet to me,
Ah, if only my dear mother
Would allow me to marry.
