Lauter rauschte der Wiesenbach
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Lauter rauschte der Wiesenbach,
Spürend ging ich dem Rauschen nach,
Kam an eine Mühle.
An dem Thor hart an der Wand
Bank und Tisch im Schatten stand.
Ach wie war's da kühle,
Ja kühle!
Gott zum Gruss, Frau Müllerin!
Wisset, dass ich durstig bin
Von des Tages Schwüle.
Und sie ging und kam und trug
Rothen Wein im ird'nen Krug.
Ach wie war der kühle,
Ja kühle!
Lächelnd sah sie dem Trinker zu. --
Milde Frau, ach wüsstest du,
Was ich dankbar fühle.
Als ich meinen Hut gerückt,
Nichts ihr in die Hand gedrückt,
Ach wie ward sie kühle,
Ja kühle!

The brook in the meadow rushed more...
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The brook in the meadow rushed more loudly,
I walked along, tracking the rushing,
I came to a mill.
At the gateway, close by the wall,
A bench and table stood in the shade.
Ah, how cool it was there,
Yes, cool!
God greet you, Madame Miller!
Know that I am thirsty
As a result of day’s humidity.
And she went and came and carried
Red wine in an earthenware jug.
Ah, how cool it was,
Yes, cool!
Smiling, she watched the man who drank. --
Gentle lady, ah if you knew
My feelings of gratitude!
When I tipped my hat,
Pressed nothing into her hand,
Ah, how cool she became,
Yes, cool!
