Der Vogel im Walde
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Ich gehe durch den grünen Wald, grünen Wald,
Wenn ich im Walde bin,
Ist's mir in meinem Sinn,
Als wär' ich ein Vogel, ein Vogel im Walde.
Tiu, tik tak, dürili!
Heisst meine Melodie!
Ich gehe durch den grünen Wald, grünen Wald,
Schüchternes, liebes Reh,
Thue dir nimmer weh;
Ich bin ja ein Vogel, ein Vogel im Walde.
Tiu, tik tak, dürili!
Heisst meine Melodie!
Ich gehe durch den grünen Wald, grünen Wald,
Was sieh'st du Jägersmann,
Mich so verwundert an?
Ich bin ja ein Vogel, ein Vogel im Walde.
Tiu, tik tak, dürili!
Heisst meine Melodie!

The bird in the woods
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
I go through the green wood, green wood,
When I am in the woods,
It is in my mind
[That] I could be a bird, a bird in the woods.
Tiu, tick tack, durilee!
Is called my melody!
I go through the green wood, green wood,
Shy, loving deer,
I will never do you harm;
I am a bird, a bird in the woods.
Tiu, tick tack, durilee!
Is called my melody!
I go through the green wood, green wood,
[Why] do you look at me
[With such astonishment], hunter?
I am a bird, a bird in the woods.
Tiu, tick tack, durilee!
Is called my melody!
