Hörst du nicht die Bäume rauschen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Hörst du nicht die Bäume rauschen Draußen durch die stille Rund? Lockts dich nicht, hinabzulauschen Von dem Söller in den Grund, Wo die vielen Bäche gehen Wunderbar im Mondenschein Wo die stillen Schlösser sehen In den Fluß vom hohen Stein? Kennst du noch die irren Lieder Aus der alten, schönen Zeit? Sie erwachen alle wieder Nachts in Waldeseinsamkeit, Wenn die Bäume träumend lauschen Und der Flieder duftet schwül Und im Fluß die Nixen rauschen - Komm herab, hier ist's so kühl.

Can't you hear the forest rustle
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Can't you hear the forest rustle outside through the quiet round? Aren't you tempted to listen down from the balcony to the ground where the many brooks flow wondrously in moonlight - where the silent castles look into the river from the high rock? Do you remember the mad songs from former, beautiful times? They all awake again at night, in the loneliness of the forest, when the dreaming trees are listening and the lilac has a sultry scent and in the river the mermaids murmur: come down, here it is so cool.
