Barcarole

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Wellen wiegen, Wogen schaukeln
Lieblich roth im Abendschein.
Ruhig gleitet unser Schiffchen,
Muntre Lieder schallen drein,
Schwebet über Silberfluthen
Leicht und schnell zum Ufer hin.

Barcarole

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Waves rock, waves sway,
Beautifully red in the evening glow.
Our little boat glides quietly --
Merry songs ring out --
Wafts its way over the silvery floodwaters
Lightly and quickly toward the shore.
