In der Früh, in der Früh im Morgenrot,
Da ging mein lieber Schatz --
Ich sah ihr nach, ich sah ihr nach
Eine Weil auf demselben Platz.
Eine Weil, eine Weil, eine kleine Weil --
Der weiße Dampf verflog --
Sie winkte noch, sie winkte noch,
Als der Zug um den Waldrand bog.
Wie geschwind, wie geschwind in die weite Welt
Reist man zu dieser Frist!
Und die Zeit so lang, die Zeit so lang,
Bis du mein eigen bist!

In the early morning, in the glow of the early morning,
My darling beloved went a-walking --
I gazed after her, I gazed after her
For a while upon the same place.
A while, a while, a little while--
The white steam dissipated --
She still waved, she still waved
As the train rounded the edge of the forest.
How rapidly, how rapidly out into the wide world
Does one travel at this time!
And the time so long, the time so long
Until you shall be mine!
