Will ruhen unter den Bäumen hier,

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 ?
