by Emanuel von Geibel (1815 - 1884)
Translation

Nachtigallenlied
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch) 
O wie süß, o wie süß
Im blühenden Flieder
Auf und nieder
Zu schaukeln,
Zu gaukeln,
Wenn der Mond erwacht,
Durch die lange, duftige Maiennacht,
O wie süß, o wie süß
Im Sternengefunkel
Tief im Dunkel
Zu schlagen,
Zu klagen,
Von dem seligen Leid,
Das die Sehnsucht weckt in der Frühlingszeit.
