I Heard the Bluebirds Sing [German translation]

I met a girl out in the hills

She gave my lonely heart a thrill

Her beauty seemed just like a breath of spring

And when I looked into her eyes

I thought of blue midsummer skies

And when I held her hand in mine

I heard the bluebirds sing

They sang of wondering

(Wondering if he love her)

Will she marry

(Marry if he'll ask her?)

Will her heart beat

(Heart beat true for him for)

Then and evermore?

And when she's lonely

(Lonely, is he near her?)

When there's sadness

(Sadness, will he cheer her?)

Will they always

(Always be together)

Until in death they part?

I courted her for months on end

Until she promised we would wed

We planned on being married in the spring

All through the long cold winter months

It seemed like spring would never come

And every gloomy winter's day

I heard the bluebirds sing

They sang of waiting

(Waiting for the flowers)

And of counting

(Counting every hour)

Till the bluebird

(Bluebird chirps his welcome)

Into the world once more

And though we're waiting

(Waiting for the sunshine)

We keep hating

(Hating every storm cloud)

That has gathered

(Gathered o'er the mountain)

To keep us far apart

And when at last spring touched the earth

We were married in the village church

Our wedding seemed just like a dream come true

Though many years have come and gone

Our love is still as true and strong

As when I found her long ago

And still the bluebirds sing

They sang of loving

(Loving every hour)

That I'm married

(Married to my flower)

We'll be happy

(Happy ever after)

As since the day we met

And though we're older

(Older love is sweeter)

We grow fonder

(Fonder of each other)

We'll be sweethearts

(Sweethearts close together)

Until the end of time
