by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)

Lindes Rauschen in den Wipfeln
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE SPA
  Lindes Rauschen in den Wipfeln,
Vöglein, die ihr fernab fliegt,
Bronnen von den stillen Gipfeln,
Sagt, wo meine Heimat liegt?

  Heut' im Traum sah ich [sie]1 wieder,
Und von allen Bergen ging
Solches Grüßen zu mir nieder,
Daß ich an zu weinen fing.

  Ach! hier auf den fremden Gipfeln:
Menschen, Quellen, Fels und Baum --
[Wirres Rauschen in den Wipfeln
Alles]2 ist mir wie ein Traum.

Muntre Vögel in den Wipfeln,
Ihr Gesellen dort im Tal,
Grüßt mir von den fremden Gipfeln
Meine Heimat tausendmal!
