Translated:

Softly my songs plead

through the night to you;

down into the silent grove,

beloved, come to me!

Slender treetops whisper and rustle

in the moonlight;

my darling, do not fear

that the hostile betrayer will overhear us.

Do you not hear the nightingales call?

Ah, they are imploring you;

with their sweet, plaintive songs

they are imploring for me.

They understand the heart’s yearning,

they know the pain of love;

with their silvery notes

they touch every tender heart.

Let your heart, too, be moved,

beloved, hear me!

Trembling, I await you!

Come, make me happy!

Don't look at it through 21st century American eyes, but through those of the composer and his world.
