Der Wandrer, dem verschwunden So Sonn' als Mondenlicht, Der singt ein Lied ins Dunkel Und härmt sich länger nicht. Er schreitet mutig weiter Die menschenleere Bahn, Viel lichte Sangesbilder, Die ziehen ihm voran. Nacht ist's auch mir geworden, Die Freunde stehen fern, Von meinem Himmel schwindet Der allerletzte Stern; Doch geh' ich mutig weiter Die menschenleere Bahn, Noch ziehen Sangesbilder Ja mir auch licht voran.

Le voyageur pour qui a disparu La lumière, tant du soleil que de la lune, Chante sa chanson dans le noir Et ne se tourmente plus. Il avance avec courage Sur sa route désertée par les hommes, Les images lumineuses de son chant Le tirent en avant. Pour moi aussi la nuit est survenue, Mes amis demeurent au loin, Dans mon ciel vacille La toute dernière étoile ; Pourtant j'avance avec courage Sur ma route désertée par les hommes, C'est encore les images du chant Qui moi aussi me tirent en avant.
