Nicht länger kann ich singen, denn der Wind
Weht stark und macht dem Athem was zu schaffen.
Auch fürcht' ich, daß die Zeit umsonst verrinnt.
Ja wär' ich sicher, ging' ich jetzt nicht schlafen.
Ja wüßt' ich was, würd' ich nicht heimspazieren
Und einsam diese schöne Zeit verlieren.

I can sing no longer, because the wind
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
I can sing no longer, because the wind
Blows hard and makes it hard to breathe.
Also I fear that time runs away in vain,
If I were certain, I wouldn't now go to bed.
If I knew something, I'd not go walking home
And lose this lovely time in loneliness.
