Our translations:  DUT
Über meiner Sehnsucht Brücke
Wandl' ich still zur alten Zeit,
Zu der Jugend offnem Glücke
Trag' ich mein verschloss'nes Leid.
Dann wie treue Mutterhände
Rührt es an mich sanft und lind,
Und ich sink' aufs Knie am Ende,
Lach' und wein' und bin ein Kind.

Vreugde der kinderjaren
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Over de brug van mijn verlangen
Wandel 'k stil naar d' oude tijd;
Naar wat van 't geluk bleef hangen
Draag ik mijn verborgen leed.
Dan, als trouwe moederhanden,
Raakt het mij aan, zacht als wind;
't Doet mij op mijn knieën landen,
'k Lach en schrei en ben een kind.
