Murmelndes Lüftchen, Blütenwind
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Spanish (Español)
Available translation(s): ENG
Murmelndes Lüftchen, Blütenwind, Der die schöne Welt durchwandelt, Sing' ein Lied mit den Blätter der Ulme, Denn es schläft mein süßes Kind. Heute sollst du, sanfter West, Schlummer über die ergiessen, Die mich Frieden nicht geniessen, Die mein Leid nicht schlafen lässt. Wiege sie mir ein gelind, Lüftchen, das die Welt durchwandelt, Sing' ein Lied mit den Blätter der Ulme, Denn es schläft mein süßes Kind. Schweifest zwischen grünen Zweigen, Lustig murmelnd von den Wonnen, Die mir alle nun zerronnen, Von dem Leid, das heut mich eigen. Kühler, sanfter, plaudernder Wind, Der die schöne Welt durchwandelt, Sing' ein Lied mit den [Blätter]1 der Ulme, Denn es schläft mein süßes Kind.

Murmuring breeze, blossom‑wind
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Murmuring breeze, blossom-wind, you who wander through the beautiful world, sing a song with the elm leaves because my sweet child is asleep. Today you, gentle west wind, should pour sleep over those who do not let me enjoy peace, who do not let my sorrow rest. Rock them gently to sleep for me, breeze, that wanders over the world, sing a song with the elm leaves because my sweet child is asleep. You stray between green branches, happily murmuring about the joys that now have all run away from me, about the sorrow that I have today. Cool, mild, gossiping wind, that wanders through the beautiful world, sing a song with the elm leaves because my sweet child is asleep.
