Leise flehen meine Lieder
My song goes through the night,
Durch die Nacht zu dir;
Confide to you gently;
In den stillen Hain hernieder,
In that quiet forest,
Liebchen, komm zu mir!
Honey, come to me!
Flüsternd schlanke Wipfel rauschen
Slender treetops whispering in the wind
In des Mondes Licht,
Under the bright moonlight;
Des Verräters feindlich Lauschen
If a bad person maliciously eavesdrops,
Fürchte, Holde, nicht.
My dear, don't be afraid.
