Mein Falk hat sich verflogen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG FRE
Mein Falk hat sich verflogen,
Verflogen über Feld;
Mein Schatz ist fortgezogen
In die weite, weite Welt.
Nun geht das dritte Jahr dahin,
Daß ich in Sorgen harr' auf ihn
Und frohtun muß mit Schmerzen
Im Herzen.
Ach, Liebster, weh tut Scheiden
Ins fremde Land hinaus,
Doch bittrer ist das Meiden
Daheim im öden Haus.
Von früh bis spät den ganzen Tag
Denk' ich, wie dir's ergehen mag,
Und sitze nachts alleine
Und weine.
Der Frühling kommt gegangen,
Kaum seh' ich's, wie er blüht;
In Bangen und Verlangen
Verzehrt sich mein Gemüt.
O komm und bringe Trost und Glück
Und bring' mir meine Ruh' zurück!
Der Frühling kommt zum Walde --
Komm balde!

My falcon has lost its way
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
My falcon has lost its way,
Lost its way over the fields;
My darling has departed
Into the wide, wide world.
Now the third year has passed
In which I anxiously wait for him
And must pretend to be happy with
Pain in my heart.
Ah, beloved, it causes pain to depart
Into a foreign land,
But more bitter yetis to miss
[One's beloved] at home in the desolate house.
The whole day long, from early till late,
I think about what might be happening to you,
And at night I sit alone
And weep.
Spring comes along,
I hardly see how it blooms;
My spirit is consumed
With anxiety and yearning.
Oh come and bring comfort and happiness
And bring my peace back to me!
Spring is coming to the woods --
Come soon!
