Original text and translations

English text

Do you hear the water flow,
Peacefully, peacefully!
Hear it as it ripples low,
Peacefully, peacefully!
Yes, among the bending rushes,
We can hear it as it gushes,
Singing while the sunset flushes,
Peacefully, peacefully!

Do you see the western sky,
Tenderly, tenderly?
Blushing o’er the maples high,
Tenderly, tenderly?
Yes, when rosy clouds are flying,
And the day is slowly dying,
We can see the soft tints lying,
Tenderly, tenderly!

Do you hear the breezes free,
Soothingly, soothingly?
Blooming from the distant sea,
Soothingly, soothingly?
Yes, when twilight dews are weeping,
And the tender flow’rs are sleeping,
We can hear the breezes sweeping,
Soothingly, soothingly!
