Ach, es sitzt mein Lieb und weint

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Ach, es sitzt mein Lieb und weint
Auf dem Stein am einsamen Haus,
Weine nicht, mein Lieb, ich komme,
Und all dein Leid ist aus.

Fremde Länder hab' ich gesehn,
Fremde Mägdlein, fremdes Glück:
Doch dein Auge hat mir gezeigt
Den Weg in die Heimath zurück.

Ah, my beloved sits and weeps

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Ah, my beloved sits and weeps
Upon the rock by the lonely house,
Do not weep, my love, I'm coming,
And all your sorrow shall be ended.

I have seen foreign lands,
Foreign girls, foreign fortune:
But it was your eyes that showed me
The way back to my homeland.
