Wenn auf dem höchsten Fels ich steh',
In's tiefe Thal hernieder seh'
Und singe,

Fern aus dem tiefen dunkeln Thal
Schwingt sich empor der Wiederhall
Der Klüfte.

 ... 

Mein Liebchen wohnt so fern von mir,
Drum sehn' ich mich so heiß nach ihr
Hinüber!

 ... 

Ach, süßes Liebchen, nimm mich bald!
Es ist so öd', es ist so kalt
Hier oben.

Når jeg står på den høyeste klippen

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Banck)

See original

Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) after the German (Deutsch)

Når jeg står på den høyeste klippen
og skuer nedover i den dype dalen
og synger,

Fjernt fra den dype, mørke dalen
svinger ekkoet seg oppover,
ekkoet fra kløften. 

 ... 

Min kjæreste bor så langt borte fra meg,
derfor lengter jeg så brennende etter henne,
dit bort.
