Fremd bin ich eingezogen, Fremd zieh' ich wieder aus. Der Mai war mir gewogen Mit manchem Blumenstrauß. Das Mädchen sprach von Liebe, Die Mutter gar von Eh' - Nun ist die Welt so trübe, Der Weg gehüllt in Schnee. Ich kann zu meiner Reisen Nicht wählen mit der Zeit: Muß selbst den Weg mir weisen In dieser Dunkelheit. Es zieht ein Mondenschatten Als mein Gefährte mit, Und auf den weißen Matten Such' ich des Wildes Tritt. Was soll ich länger weilen, [Bis]1 man mich trieb' hinaus? Laß irre Hunde heulen Vor ihres Herren Haus! Die Liebe liebt das Wandern, - Gott hat sie so gemacht - Von Einem zu dem Andern - Fein Liebchen, gute Nacht! Will dich im Traum nicht stören, Wär' Schad' um deine Ruh', Sollst meinen Tritt nicht hören - Sacht, sacht die Thüre zu! [Ich schreibe nur im Gehen]2 An's Thor [noch]3 gute Nacht, Damit du mögest sehen, [Ich hab' an dich]4 gedacht.

我异乡客到这边， 以陌生人搬出。 五月对我很友善 有鲜花许多束。 女孩谈到了婚恋， 母亲没有阻碍 - 现在世界如此暗， 小路被雪覆盖。 我不能选择时候 开始我的旅行； 必须自己找道路 在这黑暗之中。 作为我的好同伴， 月影不停转移 在这白色的荒原 我在寻找兽迹。 为何长时间停留， 直到我被驱赶？ 让这嚎叫的疯狗 在主人家门前！ 爱情很喜欢流浪，—— 上帝让她这般—— 这个那个不重样—— 好亲爱的，晚安！ 不想打扰你的梦 抱歉扰你平静， 不应听到脚步声- 我关门定轻轻！ 当经过时我留言 在门口说晚安 以便你可以看见 我在将你思念
