Weite Wiesen im Dämmergrau; die Sonne verglomm, die Sterne ziehn, nun geh' ich zu der schönsten Frau, weit über Wiesen im Dämmergrau, tief in den Busch von Jasmin. Durch Dämmergrau in der Liebe Land; ich gehe nicht schnell, ich eile nicht; mich zieht ein weiches samtenes Band durch Dämmergrau in der Liebe Land, in ein mildes, blaues Licht.
Note for stanza 2, line 5: in Strauss's song in the repetition, the line reverts to the original "in ein mildes, blaues Licht".

Broad meadows in the grey twilight; the sun's light has died away and the stars are moving. Now I go to the loveliest of women, across the meadow in the grey twilight, deep into bushes of jasmine. Through the grey twilight to the land of love; I do not walk quickly, I do not hurry. I am drawn by a faint, velvet thread through the grey twilight to the land of love, into a mild, blue light.
