from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Josef Wenzig (1807 - 1876)

Eingesunkne, alte Burgen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Czech (Čeština) 
Eingesunkne, alte Burgen
Bauen leicht sich wieder her, 
Aber was mir eingesunken,
Ach das rettet Niemand mehr.

Abgehaune, dichte Wälder
Grünen wieder bald empor, 
Aber wer, mein Vielgeliebter, 
Ruft dich aus dem Grab hervor? 

Könntest du mir jemals wieder 
Neu zurück gegeben seyn, 
Grüb' ich dich mit einer Nadel 
Gern aus hartem Felsgestein.
