Mond am Tage
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CHI ENG FRE
Wie ein leichtes Wölkchen schwebt
Steht der Mond am blauen Maientag,
Und der Morgenwind erhebt
Sich und flüstert in dem Blütenhag.
Mond am Tag, du gleichst den leichten Sorgen,
Die uns mitten in dem Glück begleiten,
Doch uns nach dem kühlen Morgen
Einen heissen Tag bereiten.

Daytime moon
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Like a wispy floating cloud
Hangs the moon in maytime's sky-blue dome,
And the morning breeze, aroused,
Gently whispers through the floral grove.
Daytime moon, so like those little worries,
Constant partners during times of pleasure,
Once the cool of morning passes,
They will warm us in full measure.
