Translation by Emanuel Geibel (1815 - 1884)

Con el viento murmuran
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Con el viento murmuran, 
madre, las hojas, 
Y al sonido me duermo 
bajo su sombra! 

So pla un manzo viento 
alegre Y suave 
che mueve la nave 
la nave de mi pen sa miento
Da me tal contento 
que y a me parece 
quel el Cielo me ofrece 
El bien por des hora 

Y al sonido me duermo 
bajo su sombra 

Si a caso recuerdo 
me halo entre las flores 
Y de mis dolores 
a penas me acuerdo 
De vista los pierdo 
Del sueno vencida 
Y da me la vida 
El suen de las hojas 

Y al sonido me duermo 
bajo su sombra!

Horch, im Winde säuseln sacht
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Spanish (Español) 
Horch, im Winde säuseln sacht,
Mutter, die Blätter,
Und bei dem Rauschen entschlaf' ich
Unter den Schatten.

Sanft hauchen die Winde,
Sie weben und schwanken,
Und schaukeln gelinde
Das Schiff der Gedanken,
Bis Frieden ich finde.
Dann glaub' ich den blauen,
Den glänzenden Himmel
Geöffnet zu schauen;
Und bei dem Rauschen entschlaf' ich
Unter den Schatten.

Erwach' ich, so stehen
Viel Blumen im Raum,
Und all meiner Wehen
Gedenk' ich dann kaum;
Sie schwinden im Traum,
Vergehen, verschweben
Im Säuseln der Blätter,
Und schön ist das Leben --
Und bei dem Rauschen entschlaf' ich
Unter den Schatten.
