Nachtigall
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
O Nachtigall,
Dein süßer Schall
[Dringt]1 mir durch Mark und Bein.
Nein, trauter Vogel, nein!
Was in mir schafft so süße Pein,
Das ist nicht dein, --
Das ist von andern himmelschönen,
Nun längst für mich verklungenen Tönen
In deinem Lied ein leiser Widerhall.

Nachtegaal
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch)
O nachtegaal,
Jouw zoet getaal,
Het gaat mij echt door merg en been.
Neen, beste vogel, neen!
Wat in mij wekt die zoete pijn,
Kun jij niet zijn.
Dat komt van and're, wonderschone,
Al lang voor mij verklonkene tonen:
'k Hoor in jouw lied zacht terug hun oud verhaal!
