by Adolphe Philippe (1811 - 1899), as Dennery and by Eugene Cormon
Translation by Alexander Cosmar (1805 - 1842)

Über Gebirg' und Thal
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français) 
Über Gebirg' und Thal
Brennt auch der Sonne Strahl,
Zieh'n wir fort nach der Städte Höh'n
Mit dem Fange aus unsern Seen.
Leichter Sinn nie ermüd't,
Leichter Sinn mit uns zieht! 

Schwer zieh'n wir nach der Stadt,
Tragen uns müd' und matt.   -- 
Wenn es uns auch noch schwerer fällt,
Bringt uns nur der Gang vieles Geld!
Leichter Sinn nie ermüd't,
Leichter Sinn mit uns zieht!
