Flutenreicher Ebro, Blühendes Ufer, All ihr grünen Matten, Schatten des Waldes, Fraget die Geliebte, Die unter euch ruhet, Ob in ihrem Glücke Sie meiner gedenket! Und ihr thauigen Perlen, Die ihr im Frühroth Den grünenden Rasen Bunt mit Farben sticket, Fraget die Geliebte, Wenn sie Kühlung athmet, Ob in ihrem Glücke Sie meiner gedenket! Ihr laubigen Pappeln, Schimmerde Pfade, Wo leichten Fußes Mein Mädchen wandelt, Wenn sie euch begegnet, Fraget sie, fragt sie, Ob in ihrem Glücke Sie meiner gedenket! Ihr schwärmenden Vögel, Die den Sonnenaufgang Singend ihr begrüßet Mit Flötenstimmen, Fraget die Geliebte, Dieses Ufers Blume, Ob in ihrem Glücke Sie meiner gedenket!

Water-rich Ebro, Blooming banks, All you green leas, Shadows of the forest, Ask my beloved Who rests beneath you, If in her happiness She thinks of me! And you dewy pearls, Which in the red of early morning Embroider the green grass So colourfully, Ask my beloved, When she breathes cool air, If in her happiness She thinks of me! You leafy poplars, Shimmering pathways, Where with soft tread My maiden wanders, When she encounters you, Ask her, ask her, If in her happiness She thinks of me! You swarming birds Who greet the sunrise With the singing Of your flute-like voices, Ask my beloved, The flower of this shore, If in her happiness She thinks of me!
