Auf einem grünen Hügel
Language:
German
Auf einem grünen Hügel,
da steht ein Röslein hell,
und wenn ich rot, rot Röslein seh',
so rot wie lauter Liebe,
möcht' weinen ich zur Stell'!
Auf einem grünen Hügel,
da stehn zwei Blümlein blau,
und wenn ich blau, blau Blümlein seh',
so blau, wie blaue Äuglein,
durch Tränen ich sie schau'!
Auf einem grünen Hügel,
da singt ein Vögelein;
mir ist's, als säng's: Wer niemals Leid,
recht großes Leid erfahren,
wird nie recht glücklich sein.

Upon a green, green hillock
Language:
English
Upon a green, green hillock,
there grows a lovely rose,
and when a red, red rose I see,
as red as purest love is,
I'd weep upon the spot!
Upon a green, green hillock,
there grow two flowers blue,
and when two blue, blue flow'rs I see,
as blue as small blue eyes are,
I see them through my tears!
Upon a green, green hillock,
there sings a little bird,
I think it sings: "Who never grieves
or deepest sorrow suffers,
will never happy be."
