Hoch über stillen Höhen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE SPA

Hoch über stillen Höhen
Stand in dem Wald ein Haus;
So einsam war's zu sehen,
Dort übern Wald hinaus.

Ein Mädchen saß darinnen
Bei stiller Abendzeit,
Tät seidne Fäden spinnen
Zu ihrem Hochzeitskleid.

En lo alto de las cumbres silenciosas

Language: Spanish (Español) after the German (Deutsch)

En lo alto de las cumbres silenciosas
había una casa en el bosque.
Estaba tan solitaria
allá, más allá del bosque.

Dentro estaba una doncella, sentada
en la quietud de la noche,
hilando hebras de seda
para su vestido de novia.
