Aus der Heimat hinter den Blitzen rot
Da kommen die Wolken her,
Aber Vater und Mutter sind lange tot,
Es kennt mich dort keiner mehr.

Wie bald, wie bald kommt die stille Zeit,
Da ruhe ich auch, und über mir
Rauschet die schöne Waldeinsamkeit,
Und keiner mehr kennt mich auch hier.

Uit mijn thuisland achter de bliksems...

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Uit mijn thuisland achter de bliksems rood,
Daar komen de wolken naar hier,
Maar mijn vader en moeder zijn lang al dood,
Er kent mij daar niemand meer.
 
Hoe gauw, ach hoe gauw komt de stille tijd,
Dan rust toch ik ook, en boven mij
Ruist de mooie woudeenzaamheid,
En niemand kent hier nog mij.
