... Ist kein Wasser so ohn' Ende, Noch so schmal ein Felsensteg, Daß nicht rechte Sehnsucht fände Drüberhin den sichern Weg. Keine Ferne darf uns kränken, Denn uns hält ein treu Gedenken. ... Überall, wohin ich schreite, Fühl' ich, wie unsichtbarlich Dein Gebet mir zieht zur Seite, Und die Flügel schlägt um mich. Keine Ferne darf uns kränken, Denn uns hält ein treu Gedenken. Über Berg' und tiefe Thale, Mit dem Wasser, mit dem Wind Täglich, stündlich, tausendmale Grüß' ich dich, geliebtes Kind. Keine Ferne darf uns kränken, Denn uns hält ein treu Gedenken. ...
Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 2,5,3 of the original text.
Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the capitalized word "über" becomes "Ueber", but this is often due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, since the lower-case version is not "ueber", so we use "Über".

... No hi ha cap riu tan inabastable, ni cap passera de roques tan petita que, amb legítim anhel, no trobessin a l’altre costat, el camí segur. Cap allunyament ens pot neguitejar perquè ens manté una fidel recordança. ... Arreu, cap on camino, sento com, invisible, la teva pregària em treu de costat i bat les ales al meu entorn. Cap allunyament ens pot neguitejar perquè ens manté una fidel recordança. Per damunt de muntanyes i valls profundes, amb els núvols, amb el vent, cada dia, cada hora, mil vegades et saludo, noia estimada. Cap allunyament ens pot neguitejar perquè ens manté una fidel recordança. ...
