Wie kann ich froh und munter seyn,
Und flink mich dreh'n bei meinem Leid?
Der schmucke Junge, der mich liebt,
Ist über die Berge weit, weit!
... ,
Ist über die Berge weit, weit!
Was kümmert mich des Winters Frost,
Und ob es draußen stürmt und schneit?
Im Auge blinkt die Thräne mir,
Denk' ich an ihn, der weit, weit!
... ,
Denk' ich an ihn, der weit, weit!
...
Er hat die Handschuh' mir geschenkt,
Das bunte Tuch, das seidne Kleid:
Doch er, dem ich's zur Ehre trag',
Ist über die Berge weit, weit!
...
Ist über die Berge weit, weit!

Comment puis-je être joyeux et gai,
Et me sentir léger près de mon chagrin ?
Le joli jeune homme qui m'aime,
Est loin, loin au delà de la montagne !
Le joli jeune homme qui m'aime,
Est loin, loin au delà de la montagne !
Est-ce le gel de l'hiver qui me fait mal,
Ou est-ce que dehors la tempête et la neige soufflent ?
Dans mon œil brille la larme,
Quand je pense à lui, qui est loin, loin !
Dans mon œil brille la larme,
Quand je pense à lui, qui est loin, loin !
