Wo die Berge hoch sich türmen
An dem Saum des Himmels dort,
Aus dem Haus, dem schönen Garten,
Trugen sie bei Nacht mich fort.

when the day's light awakens me,
with the water from my eyes
I wash my face.

Where the mountains tower high
on the edge of Heaven there,
from that house, the fair garden,
they carried me off by night.
