Ach! wie ist es doch gekommen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ach! wie ist es doch gekommen,
Daß die ferne Waldespracht
So mein ganzes Herz genommen,
Mich um alle Ruh gebracht.
Wenn von drüben Lieder wehen,
Waldhorn gar nicht enden will,
Weiß ich nicht, wie mir geschehen,
Und im Herzen bet ich still.
Könnt ich zu den Wäldern flüchten,
Mit dem Grün in frischer Lust
Mich zum Himmelsglanz aufrichten --
Stark und frei wär da die Brust!
Hörnerklang und Lieder kämen
Nicht so schmerzlich an mein Herz,
Fröhlich wollt ich Abschied nehmen,
Zög auf ewig wälderwärts.

Ah ! comment cela s'est‑il produit ?
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Ah ! comment cela s'est-il produit ?
La splendeur de la forêt lointaine
S'est emparée de tout mon cœur
Et m'a privé de tout repos.
Quand les chants soufflent de là-haut,
Que le son du cor ne veut cesser,
Je ne sais ce qui m'arrive,
Et en mon cœur , je prie en silence.
Si je pouvais fuir vers la forêt,
Dans la verdure emplie d'une joie juvénile
Me dresser vers le ciel resplendissant,
Mon âme serait alors forte et libre.
Le son du cor et les chants n'atteindraient plus
Mon cœur avec autant de douleur,
Je pourrais prendre congé joyeusement,
Et partir vers la forêt pour toujours.
