This performance by David Warin Solomons of Schubert's famous song uses vocal samples for the accompaniment (following the original piano part), accentuating the bubbling of the water.

In einem Bächlein helle, da schoß in froher Eil
Die launische Forelle vorüber wie ein Pfeil.

In a bright little brook the capricious trout
shot by in joyful haste like an arrow

Ich stand an dem Gestade Und sah in süßer Ruh
Des muntern Fischleins Bade Im klaren Bächlein zu.

I stood on the bank and calmly watched
the lively little fish bathing in the clear waters

Ein Fischer mit der Rute Wohl an dem Ufer stand,
Und sah`s mit kaltem Blute, Wie sich das Fischlein wand.

An angler with his rod stood there on the bank
and looked on coolly as the fish swam about


So lang dem Wasser Helle,So dacht ich, nicht gebricht,
So fängt er die Forelle Mit seiner Angel nicht.

As long as the clear water is not disturbed, I thought,
He won't catch the trout with his rod


Doch endlich ward dem Diebe Die Zeit zu lang. Er macht
Das Bächlein tückisch trübe, Und eh ich es gedacht,

But finally the thief grew weary of waiting
In his treachery he muddied the water, and before I knew it


So zuckte seine Rute, Das Fischlein zappelt dran,
Und ich mit regem Blute Sah die Betrogene an.

His rod gave a twitch, the little fish was wriggling on the hook
And my blood stirred as I looked on at the cheated victim
