Da drüben über'm Walde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Da drüben über'm Walde
Da singt ein Vogel schön,
Da drüben an dem Bache
Seh' ich ein Rehlein geh'n,
Da drüben!
 
Und wo der Vogel singet
Und wo das Rehlein geht,
Da drüben bei den Tannen
Der Liebsten Hütte steht,
Da drüben!
 
Möcht' mit dem Vogel singen,
[Und zu]1 dem Rehlein geh'n,
Da drüben heimlich lauschend
Durch's kleine Fenster seh'n,
Da drüben!

Down yonder o'er the forest
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
Down yonder o'er the forest
there sings a radiant bird,
down yonder by the streamlet
I see a young doe walk,
down yonder! down yonder!
 
And where the bird doth sing
and where the doe doth walk
down yonder by the fir trees
the hut of my dearest stands,
down yonder! down yonder!
 
Would I could sing with the birds
Would I could walk with the does,
down yonder list'ning in secret
glancing through windows small.
