Available translation(s): ENG
Auf die Berge muß ich gehen,
muß nach deinem Fenster sehen,
muß dir winken, muß dir nicken,
muß dir tausend Grüße schicken,
Glück dir wünschen, Dank dir sagen,
denn in diesen Frühlingstagen:
O Johanna, gabst nur Du
Freude mir und Glück und Ruh.
Von den Bergen steig ich nieder,
der mich sandte meine Lieder,
all die schönsten die ich habe,
die als duftge Frühlingsgabe,
diese Botschaft dir zu sagen,
ja, in diesen Frühlingstagen:
O Johanna, gabst nur du
Freude mir und Fried und Ruh.

On the mountains, I must go
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
On the mountains, I must go,
must see you at your window,
must wave to you, must nod to you,
must send you a thousand greetings,
wish happiness for you, give you thanks,
because in these spring days:
O Johanna, only you gave
me Joy and happiness and peace.
I descend from the mountains,
and send you my songs,
all the most beautiful that I have,
softly in this spring-offering,
this message for you, to say,
yes, in these spring days:
O Johanna, only you gave
me Joy and happiness and peace.
