Wallet, Wasser, schnell,
Schimmert perlengleich,
Meiner Liebe Hauch
Schwebe über euch;
Schwebe über euch
Sanft wie Maienluft,
Hülle Wald und Flur
Ein in blauen Duft.
Und im blauen Duft,
Und im Sonnenstrahl
Meinen Liebesgruß
Ruschet durch das Thal.
Rauschet durch das Thal
Süße Ahnung hin,
Daß er freudig fühlt,
Daß ich nahe bin.

Waters, flow quickly,
Shimmer like pearls,
May the breath of my love
Hover over you;
Hover over you
As gently as the breezes of May,
Shroud woods and lea
In a blue scent.
And in the blue scent,
And in the sunbeam
Sough the greeting of my love
Through the valley.
Through the valley sough
Sweet premonition
So that he may joyfully
Sense that I am near.
