Wie ist der Tag so frostig klar, O schien die Sonne warm! Der eisige Nord, wär's Zephirluft! Der Nebelhauch, wär's Blütenduft! O schien die Sonne warm! Es schläft das Tal im Feierkleid, O wann erwacht der Lenz? Der See ist erstarrt, o spielt' die Well'! Der Vogel verstummt, o säng' er hell! Wann wird die Erde grün!

Le ciel est si brillant et si bleu, Oh, si la terre était verte ! Le vent est piquant, oh, s'il était tiède ! La neige scintille, oh, si c'était de la rosée ! Oh, si la terre était verte !

Comme le jour est glacial et pur, Oh, si le soleil brillait chaudement ! Le Nord glacial, si c'était un doux zéphir ! Le souffle du brouillard, si c'était le parfum d'une fleur ! Oh, si le soleil brillait chaudement ! La vallée dort dans son habit de fête. Oh, si le printemps se réveillait ! Le lac est gelé, oh, si les vagues jouaient ! L'oiseau est muet, oh, si son chant clair retentissait ! Oh, si la terre était verte !
