Ich schleiche meine Straßen Mit müdem Fuß einher, Sie dehnt sich ohne Maßen, Das Ränzel wird mir schwer. Doch hab' ich drin geborgen Kein Silber und kein Gold, Nur meine stillen Sorgen Hab' ich darein gerollt. Ob mir der Himmel blaue, Ob ich im Nebel geh' -- Ich weiß nicht, was ich schaue Nur, daß ich dich nicht seh'!

M’esquitllo pels meus carrers amb passes cansades, s'estenen sense fi, la motxilla se'm fa feixuga. Però no hi he amagat ni argent ni or, només les meves penes silencioses hi he posat a dins. Tant si el cel és blau, com si camino enmig de la boira — no sé què veig, només que no et veig a tu!
