O kühler Wald, Wo rauschest du, In dem mein Liebchen geht? O Widerhall, Wo lauschest du, Der gern mein Lied versteht? O Widerhall, O sängst du ihr Die süßen Träume vor, Die Lieder all, O bring sie ihr, Die ich so früh verlor! Im Herzen tief, Da rauscht der Wald, In dem mein Liebchen geht, In Schmerzen schlief Der Widerhall, Die Lieder sind verweht. Im Walde bin Ich so allein, O Liebchen, wandre hier, Verschallet auch Manch Lied so rein, Ich singe andre dir!
J. Brahms sets stanzas 1, 3

Oh fresc boscatge, on remoreges, allà on va la meva estimada? Oh eco, on pares l’orella, a qui entén la meva cançó? Oh eco, si li cantessis els dolços somnis i totes les cançons, oh, porta-les-hi, les que tan aviat vaig perdre! Al fons del meu cor, remoreja el bosc allà on va la meva estimada, en la pena dorm l’eco, les cançons se les ha endut el vent. Al bosc estic tan sol, oh estimada, passeja aquí, ja no ressonen moltes cançons, tan pures; jo te’n cantaré d’altres!
