Ich höre Hörner blasen; und
Der Abend nähert sich
Für mich.
Kinder, blank und blonde, kommt;
Es dunkelt immer mehr,
Kommt her.
Segne euch der Höchste; denn
Es dunkelt immer mehr,
Kommt her.
Ich höre Hörner blasen; und
Der Abend nähert sich
Für mich.

I hear horns blowing; and
Evening draws nigh
For me.
Children, bright and blonde, come;
It is growing ever more dark,
Come here.
May the Highest bless you; for
It is growing ever more dark,
Come here.
I hear horns blowing; and
Evening draws nigh
For me.
