The Shepherd on the Rock
Wenn auf dem höchsten Fels ich steh, Ins tiefe Tal hernieder seh Und singe,
When, from the highest rock up here, Down to the valley deep I peer, And sing,
Fern aus dem tiefen dunkeln Tal Schwingt sich empor der Widerhall Der Klüfte.
Far from the valley dark and deep Echoes rush through, in upward sweep, The chasm.
Je weiter meine Stimme dringt, Je heller sie mir widerklingt Von unten.
The farther that my voice resounds, So much the brighter it rebounds From under.
Mein Liebchen wohnt so weit von mir, Drum sehn ich mich so heiss nach ihr Hinüber.
My sweetheart dwells so far from me, I hotly long with her to be O’er yonder.
In tiefem Gram verzehr ich mich, Mir ist die Freude hin, Auf Erden mir die Hoffnung wich, Ich hier so einsam bin.
By deepest grief I am consumed, I am robbed of every joy. Hope has left me here on earth, Left me full of loneliness.
So sehnend klang im Wald das Lied, So sehnend klang es durch die Nacht, Die Herzen es zum Himmel zieht Mit wunderbarer Macht.
The sound of longing was heard in the wood, The sound of longing ran through the night, Lifting hearts up to heaven With miraculous power.
Der Frühling will kommen, Der Frühling, meine Freud’, Nun mach ich mich fertig Zum Wandern bereit.
But now Spring is on its way, Spring, that gladdens my heart, And I make myself ready To go out walking.
