Wohl die alten Bäume wieder

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: DUT ENG

Wohl die alten Bäume wieder
Neigen ihre Wipfel nieder
Auf das Haus am Waldesrand.
Stille, stille! Laß mich lauschen!
Fernher tönt ein leises Rauschen:
Komm zurück in's Heimatland!

Wer soll meiner Liebe lohnen?
Dort wo fremde Menschen wohnen
Geh' ich nicht mehr ein und aus.
Droben in den Sternenräumen
Unter goldnen Himmelsbäumen
Wartet mein das Vaterhaus.

Deeply again do the old trees

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Deeply again do the old trees
incline their heads
down over the house by the edge of the forest.
Quiet, quiet! Let me listen!
Far away comes a soft rustling:
Come back to your homeland!

Who will be worth my love?
There, where strangers live,
I will no longer go back and forth.
Up there in the starry space,
beneath golden, heavenly trees,
awaits my ancestral home.
