Deiner hellen Stimme
Fröhlicher Klang,
Du süsses Lieb,
Hat mich bezaubert
Wie überirdischer
Feengesang.
Wohin ich ziehe,
Ich hör' ihn klingen,
Deines Silberlachens
Lieblichen Schall,
Und deiner Rede
Glöckleinzitternde,
Reine Laute
Bethören mich über
Allüberall.

The happy sound of
Your bright voice,
You, [my] sweet beloved,

Like [a] heavenly

Wherever I [go]

Your silver laughing's
Lovely sound,
And your speech
The trembling of little bells,
Pure sounds
Beguile me
Everywhere.
