Let us wander
Language: English
Available translation(s): GER
Let us wander not unseen,
by the elms on hillocks green,
while the ploughman near at hand
whistles o'er the furrow'd land.
And the milk maid singeth blithe
and the mower whets his scythe.
Let us wander not unseen,
by the elms on hillocks green,
while the ploughman near at hand
whistles o'er the furrow'd land.
And the shepherd tells his tale,
beneath the hawthorn in the dale.
Let us wander not unseen,
by the elms on hillocks green,
while the ploughman near at hand
whistles o'er the furrow'd land.

Lass uns vorbeiwandern
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the English
Lass uns vorbeiwandern nicht ungesehen
an den Ulmen auf den grünen Hügeln,
während der pflügende Bauer in der Nähe
pfeifend über das gefurchte Land geht.
Und das Milchmädchen fröhlich singt
Und der mähende Bauer seine Sichel wetzt.
Lass uns vorbeiwandern nicht ungesehen
an den Ulmen auf den grünen Hügeln,
während der pflügende Bauer in der Nähe
pfeifend über das gefurchte Land geht.
Und der Schäfer seine Geschichte erzählt,
unter dem Weissdorn im Tal.
Lass uns vorbeiwandern nicht ungesehen
an den Ulmen auf den grünen Hügeln,
während der pflügende Bauer in der Nähe
pfeifend über das gefurchte Land geht.
