Ich weiss einen Namen den rauschen die Tannen,
Den flötet die Amsel, murmelt der Bach.
Den tragen die Winde auf Flügeln von dannen,
Ich lausche, ich hör' ihn und flüstre ihn nach.
Und wollt' ihr die wonnigen Laute erfahren,
So eilet zur Amsel, zum Bächlein hinaus,
Doch mögen sie nimmer das Wort offenbaren,
So fraget den Lenzwind, ich plaudre nichts aus!

Je connais un nom que les sapins murmurent
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Je connais un nom que les sapins murmurent,
Que le merle siffle, que le ruisseau murmure.
Sur leurs ailes les vents l'emportent,
J'écoute, je l'entends et le murmure.
Et si vous voulez entendre les sons merveilleux,
Alors hâtez-vous vers le merle, vers le ruisseau,
Mais s'ils ne peuvent révéler le mot,
Alors demandez au vent du printemps, moi, je ne dirai rien !
