Im Garten am Seegestade
Op. 70 no.1
Im Garten am Seegestade
Im Garten am SeegestadeUralte Bäume stehn,In ihren hohen KronenSind kaum die Vögel zu sehn.Die Bäume mit hohen Kronen,Die rauschen Tag und Nacht,Die Wellen schlagen zum Strande,Die Vöglein singen sacht.Das gibt ein MusizierenSo süß, so traurig bang,Als wie verlorner LiebeUnd ewiger Sehnsucht Sang.
In the garden by the shore
In the garden by the shoreAncient trees are standing,In their high canopiesThe birds can scarce be seen.The trees with high canopiesRustle day and night,The waves beat against the shore,The little birds sing softly.The music they makeIs so sweet, so full of sad foreboding,Like the song of lost loveAnd endless longing.

Im Garten am Seegestade
Im Garten am Seegestade
Uralte Bäume stehn,
In ihren hohen Kronen
Sind kaum die Vögel zu sehn.
Die Bäume mit hohen Kronen,
Die rauschen Tag und Nacht,
Die Wellen schlagen zum Strande,
Die Vöglein singen sacht.
Das gibt ein Musizieren
So süß, so traurig bang,
Als wie verlorner Liebe
Und ewiger Sehnsucht Sang.
In the garden by the shore
In the garden by the shore
Ancient trees are standing,
In their high canopies
The birds can scarce be seen.
The trees with high canopies
Rustle day and night,
The waves beat against the shore,
The little birds sing softly.
The music they make
Is so sweet, so full of sad foreboding,
Like the song of lost love
And endless longing.
