Will ruhen unter den Bäumen hier

Language: German (Deutsch)

Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA SPA

Will ruhen unter den Bäumen hier,
Die Vögelein hör' ich so gerne.
Wie singet ihr so zum Herzen mir!
Von [unsrer]¹ Liebe was wisset ihr
In dieser weiten Ferne?

Will ruhen hier an des Baches Rand,
Wo duftige Blümlein sprießen.
Wer hat euch Blümlein, [hieher]² gesandt?
Seid ihr ein herzliches Liebespfand
Aus der Ferne von meiner Süßen?

Au loin

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Je vais me reposer ici sous les arbres,
Oiseaux que j'écoute si volontiers,
Comment votre chant me touche‑t‑il au cœur ?
Que savez‑vous de notre amour
En ces lieux si éloignés ?

Je vais me reposer ici au bord du ruisseau,
Où poussent des fleurs odorantes.
Qui vous a envoyé jusqu'ici petites fleurs ?
Êtes‑vous un tendre gage d'amour
De ma bien‑aimée lointaine ?
