Nun blüht die Welt nicht mehr für mich, Nicht mir ruft Wind und Vogelschrei. Mein Weg ward schmal, ich geh vorbei, Kein Freund begleitet mich. Und jeder Blick ins frohe Tal, Wo meine Jugend heimisch war, Ist nun für mich Gefahr Und bittre Qual. Und stieg ich nieder noch einmal, Zu stillen meines Heimwehs Not, So stünde dort, wie überall An meinem Weg der Tod.

Le monde ne fleurit plus pour moi, Ni le vent, ni le cri de l'oiseau ne m'appelle, Mon chemin est devenu étroit, je passe, Pas un ami ne m'accompagne. Et chaque regard vers la joyeuse vallée Qui fut le pays de ma jeunesse Est maintenant pour moi danger Et amer tourment. Et si j'y descendais encore une fois Pour calmer la détresse née de mon mal du pays, Alors la mort se tiendrait là-bas Comme partout sur mon chemin.
