lyrics

Little Nightingale (translation)

Little nightingale of the woods, little wild nightingale,
teach me your secret language, teach me how to speak like you.
Show me the way to love aright.

The way to love aright, I can tell you straight away;
you must sing serenades two hours after midnight.
You must sing to her: ‘My pretty one, this is for your delight.’

They told me, my pretty one, that you have some apples,
some rennet apples growing in your garden.
Allow me, my pretty one, to touch them.

No, I shall not allow you to touch my apples.
First, hold the moon and the sun in your hands,
then you may have the apples that grow in my garden.
