Berg' und Burgen schaun herunter
Language: German (Deutsch)
Berg' und Burgen schaun herunter in den spiegelhellen Rhein, und mein Schiffchen segelt munter, rings umglänzt von Sonnenschein. Ruhig seh' ich zu dem Spiele goldner Wellen, kraus bewegt; still erwachen die Gefühle, die ich tief im Busen hegt'. Freundlich grüssend und verheißend lockt hinab des Stromes Pracht; doch ich kenn' ihn, oben gleißend, birgt sein Innres Tod und Nacht. Oben Lust, im Busen Tücken, Strom, du bist der Liebsten Bild! Die kann auch so freundlich nicken, lächelt auch so fromm und mild.

Bergen en burchten zien naar onder
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
Bergen en burchten zien naar onder In de spiegelklare Rijn, En mijn scheepje zeilt daar monter, Wijd omglansd door zonneschijn. Rustig kijk ik naar het spoelen Van de golven, woelend wild; Stil begin ik weer te voelen Wat mijn hart zo bezig hield. Vriend'lijk groetend en steeds sjansend Lokt de stroom met diepe pracht; Maar ik ken hem: boven glanzend Bergt zijn binnenst' dood en nacht. Boven lust, van binnen strikken, Stroom, je bent echt liefjes beeld! Die kan ook zo vriend'lijk knikken, Glimlacht ook zo lief en mild.
