Im Fahlen Mondlicht/ In the Pale Moonlight/ En Luz Pálida De Luna

Im fahlen Mondlicht
Zwischen den Zweigen des Ahorns
Ein leises Rauschen

Auf der Holzbrücke ein Wanderer 
Darunter ruhig der dunkle Fluss

---------------------------------------------

In the pale moon light 
Between the branches of  maple 
A gentle murmur

On the wooden bridge a hiker 
Underneath quiet the dark river

----------------------------------------------

En luz pálida de luna
Entre las ramas del arce
Un silencioso murmullo

En el puente de madera un caminante 
Abajo tranquilo el río oscuro
