Original text and translations

German text

Leiser, leiser, kleine Laute,

Flüstre was ich dir vertraute,

Dort zu jenem Fenster hin!

Wie die Wellen sanfter Lüfte,

Mondenglanz und Blumendüfte,

Send es der Gebieterin!

Neidisch sind des Nachbars Söhne,

Und im Fenster jener Schöne

Flimmert noch ein einsam Licht.

Drum noch leiser, kleine Laute;

Dich vernehme die Vertraute,

Nachbarn aber, Nachbarn nicht!
