Nicht im Tale der süßen Heimat, Beim Gemurmel der Silberquelle - Bleich getragen aus dem Schlachtfeld Denk' ich dein, du süßes Leben! All die Freunde sind gefallen, Sollt' ich weilen hier der eine? Nein! schon naht der bleiche Bote, Der mich leitet zur süßen Heimat. Flecht ins Haar den Kranz der Hochzeit, Halt bereit die Brautgewande Und die vollen, duft'gen Schalen: Denn wir kehren alle wieder In das Tal der süßen Heimat.
R. Schumann sets stanzas 1-2

Je ne suis pas dans la vallée de ma douce patrie, Près du murmure de la source argentée, Mais emporté, pâle, du champ de bataille, Je pense à toi, ma douce vie ! Tous mes amis sont tombés, Devrais-je rester seul ici ? Non ! le pâle messager approche déjà, Pour me guider vers la douce patrie. Tresse dans tes cheveux la couronne des noces, Prépare ta toilette de mariée Et les coupes pleines et parfumées : Car nous allons tous revenir Dans la vallée de la chère patrie.
