Das macht, es hat die Nachtigall
Language: German (Deutsch)
[Das]1 macht, es hat die Nachtigall Die ganze [Nacht]2 gesungen; Da sind von ihrem süssen Schall, Da sind [in]3 Hall und Widerhall Die [Rosen]4 aufgesprungen. Sie war doch sonst ein wildes [Kind]5, [Nun]6 geht sie [tief]7 in Sinnen, Trägt in der Hand den Sommerhut Und duldet [still]8 der Sonne Glut Und weiß nicht, was beginnen. Das macht, es hat die Nachtigall Die ganze Nacht gesungen; Da sind von ihrem süssen Schall, Da sind [in]3 Hall und Widerhall Die [Rosen]4 aufgesprungen.

It happened because the nightingale
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
It happened because the nightingale sang the whole night long; from her sweet call, from the echo and re-echo, roses have sprung up. She was but recently a wild blossom, and now she walks, deep in thought; she carries her summer hat in her hand, enduring quietly the heat of the sun, knowing not what to begin. It happened because the nightingale sang the whole night long; from her sweet call, from the echo and re-echo, roses have sprung up.
