Das Wandern ist des Müllers Lust, Das Wandern! Das muß ein schlechter Müller sein, Dem niemals fiel das Wandern ein, Das Wandern. Vom Wasser haben wir's gelernt, Vom Wasser! Das hat nicht Rast bei Tag und Nacht, Ist stets auf Wanderschaft bedacht, Das Wasser. Das sehn wir auch den Rädern ab, Den Rädern! Die gar nicht gerne stille stehn, Die sich mein Tag nicht müde gehn, Die Räder. Die Steine selbst, so schwer sie sind, Die Steine! Sie tanzen mit den muntern Reihn Und wollen gar noch schneller sein, Die Steine. O Wandern, Wandern, meine Lust, O Wandern! Herr Meister und Frau Meisterin, Laßt mich in Frieden weiter ziehn Und wandern.

Caminar és el goig del moliner, Caminar! Seria un mal moliner, al que mai se li acudís de caminar, caminar. De l'aigua ho hem après, de l'aigua! Que no té repòs ni de dia ni de nit, sempre està a punt per a la caminada, l'aigua. Això ho veiem també en les rodes, en les rodes! Que no els agrada gens estar quietes, i giren tot el dia sense cansar-se, les rodes. Les moles, fins i tot, tan pesades com són, les moles! Ballen en animada fila, i volen ser més ràpides encara, les moles. Oh caminar, caminar, goig meu, Oh caminar! Senyor mestre i senyora mestressa, deixeu-me prosseguir en pau el meu camí i caminar.
