by Franz Theodor Kugler (1808 - 1858)

Der Mond steht über dem Berge
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Der Mond steht über dem Berge,
So recht für verliebte Leut';
Im Garten rieselt ein Brunnen,
Sonst Stille weit und breit.

Neben der Mauer im Schatten,
Da stehn der Studenten drei,
Mit Flöt' und Geig' und Zither,
Und [spielen und singen]1 dabei.

Die Klänge schleichen der Schönsten
Sacht in den Traum hinein,
sie schaut den blonden Geliebten
und lispelt: Vergiß nicht mein.
