Die Berge sind spitz Und die Berge sind kalt, Mein Schatz steigt zu Berge Und ich in den Wald. Da tröpfelt das Laub Von Regen und Thau, Ob die Augen da tröpfeln, Wer sieht es genau?

Les muntanyes són puntegudes i les muntanyes són fredes, la meva estimada puja a la muntanya i jo vaig al bosc. Allà el fullatge goteja de la pluja i la rosada, si allà els ulls gotegen, qui ho pot veure amb claredat?
