Nachtigall [English translation]

Once a boy found himself deep in the forest

He met his sweetheart there

She came to him from the hidden people

At night, at night in the forest

For hours he stole away

For many years

And in the forest they came together

To the nightingale's song

The symphony of the nightingale

Like her, long-forgotten

She sings alone

So wistfully, the nightingale

Her old melody, the gentle symphony

Deep in the forest

One night, the beloved no longer came

To the hidden people

Since then she sweetly sings

Alone at night in the forest

The symphony of the nightingale

Like her, long-forgotten

She sings alone

So wistfully, the nightingale

Her old melody, the gentle symphony

The symphony of the night

The symphony of the nightingale

Sounds forlorn in the night

Like her, long-forgotten

She sings alone

Deep in the forest
