O komme, holde Sommernacht
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE
O komme, holde Sommernacht,
Verschwiegen;
Dich hat die Liebe recht gemacht
Zum Siegen!
Da brechen manche Knospen los,
Verstohlen,
Da öffnen ihren süßen Schoß
Violen;
Da neigt ihr Haupt im Dämmerschein
Die Rose,
Da wird mein Liebchen auch noch mein,
Das lose!

O come, lovely summer night
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
O come, lovely summer night,
Yet secretly;
Love has justly made you
A time for conquest!
It is then that many buds are broken off,
Stealthily;
It is then that their sweet shoots are opened
By violets;
It is then that in the afterglow,
The roses incline their heads;
It is then that my sweetheart surely shall be mine,
The loose girl!
