Sie kam zum Schloß gegangen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Sie kam zum Schloß gegangen
Die Sonne erhob sich kaum
Sie kam zum Schloß gegangen,
Die Ritter blickten mit Bangen
Und es schwiegen die Frauen.
Sie blieb vor der Pforte stehen,
Die Sonne erhob sich kaum
Sie blieb vor der Pforte stehen,
Man hörte die Königin gehen
Und der König fragte sie:
Wohin gehst du? Wohin gehst du?
Gib acht in dem Dämmerschein!
Wohin gehst du? Wohin gehst du?
Harrt drunten jemand dein?
Sie sagten nicht ja noch nein.
Sie stieg zur Fremden hernieder
Gib acht in dem Dämmerschein
Sie stieg zu der Fremden hernieder
Sie schloß sie in ihre Arme ein.
Die beiden sagten nicht ein Wort
Und gingen eilends fort.

She came to the castle
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
She came to the castle
The sun was hardly up
She came to the castle
The knights looked on with fear
And the ladies were silent.
She stood before the portal,
The sun was hardly up
She stood before the portal,
One heard the Queen going
And the King asked her:
Where are you going? Where are you going?
Take care in the dim light!
Where are you going? Where are you going?
Is someone waiting for you down there?
She said neither yes nor no.
She climbed down to the stranger
Take care in the dim light!
She climbed down to the stranger
She enclosed her in her arms.
The two said not a word
And went hastily onward.
