English text

Come to me darling, the moments are long,
While I am waiting and watching for thee;
Come to me darling, with lute and with song,
Tripping so lightly o’er meadow and lea.
Come when all nature is hushed to repose;
Come when the Nightingale sings to the rose.

Softly the dewdrops are pearling the flowers,
Gently the moonlight looks down on the sea;
Lose not the charm of these love-breathing hours,
Come to me darling, I’m waiting for thee.
Come when all nature is hushed to repose;
Come when the Nightingale sings to the rose.

Come, and the Fairies thy footsteps will greet,
Joying, the blush of thy beauty to see;
Rest thee, my darling, where mellow and sweet,
Zephyrs are making their music for thee.
Come when all nature is hushed to repose;
Come when the Nightingale sings to the rose.
