I skoven er der så stille
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Our translations:  GER
I skoven er der så stille;
der rasler kun det gule blad;
nu kommer den stund,
vi ville som venner skilles ad.

Skoven luder med brinken brat.
Vindfælden vakler, når vinden ta'r fat.
Nu kommer vintrens den lange hvile
og længere nat.

Ganz stille wird's nun im Walde
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Danish (Dansk) 
Ganz stille wird's nun im Walde; 
es raschelt nur das gelbe Blatt; 
Die Stunde des Abschieds balde 
uns, Freund, geschlagen hat. 
 
Stumm wird der Abhang vom Wald bewacht.
Wind hat zu Boden den Baum gebracht. 
Lang bringt der Winter nun Ruh im Walde 
und längere Nacht.
