Flohen die Wolken im Abendwinde
Language: German (Deutsch)
Flohen die Wolken im Abendwinde,
Schimmernd im Mondlicht lag das Thal --
Hinter der Mauer unter der Linde
Sahen wir uns zum letztenmal.
Flohen die Jahre, flohen geschwinde,
Wieder kam ich ins heimische Thal --
Hinter der Mauer unter der Linde
Dacht' ich dein viel tausendmal.

The clouds scudded in the evening wind
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The clouds scudded in the evening wind,
The valley lay shimmering in the moonlight --
Behind the stone wall under the linden tree,
We saw each other for the last time.
The years flew past, flew rapidly,
Once more I came into the home valley --
Behind the stone wall under the linden tree
I thought of you many thousands of times.
