So wie er nah't, schallt in sein Ohr

Lukas
 So wie er nah't, schallt in sein Ohr,
 durch heulende Winde nur erst geschreckt,
 heller Stimmen lauter Klang.

Hanne
 Die warme Stube zeigt ihm
 dann des Dörfchens Nachbarschaft,
 vereint in trautem Kreise
 den Abend zu verkürzen
 mit leichter Arbeit und Gespräch.

Simon
 Am Ofen schwatzen hier
 von ihrer Jugendzeit die Väter.
 Zu Körb und Reusen flicht die Weidengert',
 und Netze strickt der Söhne
 munt'rer Haufe dort.
 Am Rocken spinnen die Mütter,
 am laufenden Rade die Töchter;
 und ihren Fleiß belebt
 ein ungekünstelt frohes Lied.

Mentre si avvicina, risuona al suo orecchio

Luca
 E mentre si avvicina, risuona al suo orecchio,
 turbato ancora dal suono dei venti urlanti,
 la limpida eco di chiare voci umane.

Vanna
 E, nella calda stanza,
 il vicinato del piccolo villaggio,
 trova, in intima cerchia, tutto riunito,
 per abbreviare la lunga
 sera con lavoretti e chiacchiere.

Simone
 Presso la stufa parlano
 i padri della giovinezza.
 Là, con bacchette di salice,
 canestri e nasse intrecciano,
 o aggiustano reti, allegri giovani in gruppo.
 Le madri alla conocchia filano
 mentre le figlie stanno presso la ruota che veloce gira;
 e, lieto e semplice, 
 le accompagna un canto.
