English Translation

The nightinale and the pure lark
And little birds of the mountain
Will you go to the summer’s hue
That suffers from a new disease?

I have no gifts
Or juwels to send
To help you remember the one who loves you
Only a pair of white gloves.

The little birds went,
They flew to their distant journey;
And there on Gwen’s bedside
They sang on the branch.

Gwen, the wavecrest’s hue, said
„Oh who ist the bird 
Who’s singing so beautifully
And me so ill and nearing the end?“

„We are ambassadors, believe us
From the one who loves you
Who wants to know how you are
Whether you are mending or not.“

„Oh, tell him very softly
That the lenght of my life iss hort,
Before summer’s end
I’ll mix with the earth and gravel.
