Der wandernde Wind auf den Wegen War angefüllt mit süßem Laut, Der dämmernde rieselnde Regen War mit Verlangen feucht betaut. Das rinnende rauschende Wasser Berauschte verwirrend die Stimmen Der Träume, die blasser und blasser Im schwebenden Nebel verschwimmen. Der Wind in den wehenden Weiden, Am Wasser der wandernde Wind Berauschte die sehnenden Leiden, Die in der Dämmerung sind. Der Weg im dämmernden Wehen, Er führte zu keinem Ziel, Doch war er gut zu gehen Im Regen, der rieselnd fiel.

Le vent vagabond sur les chemins Était empli de douces sonorités La pluie du crépuscule qui ruisselait Était éclaboussée d'un désir humide. L'eau qui coulait en trombe Enivrait confusément les voix Des rêves, qui de plus en plus faibles S'estompaient dans un brouillard flottant. Le vent dans les saules ébouriffés, Le vent vagabond au bord de l'eau Enivrait les souffrances languissantes Qui sont dans le crépuscule. Le chemin dans les vents crépusculaires Ne menait nulle part, Mais il était bon d'aller Sous la pluie qui ruisselait.
