Wo die Berge so blau Aus dem nebligen Grau Schauen herein, Wo die Sonne verglüht, Wo die Wolke umzieht, Möchte ich sein! Dort im ruhigen Tal Schweigen Schmerzen und Qual. Wo im Gestein Still die Primel dort sinnt, Weht so leise der Wind, Möchte ich sein! Hin zum sinnigen Wald Drängt mich Liebesgewalt, Innere Pein. Ach, mich zög's nicht von hier, Könnt ich, Traute, bei dir Ewiglich sein!

Donde las azules montañas que salen de las nieblas grises brillan a lo lejos, donde el sol enrojece, y las nubes se reúnen, ¡quisiera estar! Allí en plácido valle callarán dolor y pena. Donde en las piedras meditan las tranquilas prímulas y suave sopla el viento, ¡quisiera estar! Hacia el pensativo bosque me empuja el poder del amor, la íntima pena. Ah, nada me arrancaría de aquí, si pudiera, amada mía, estar contigo para siempre.
