"Sag' an, o lieber Vogel mein,
Sag' an, wohin die Reise Dein?"
  Weiß nicht, wohin,
  Mich treibt der Sinn,
Drum muß der Pfad wohl richtig sein!

"Sag' an, o liebster Vogel mir,

  Und süßen Duft
Und neuen Lenz verspricht sie mir!

No sé a on,
el meu instint em guia,
i així el camí deu ser segurament correcte!

“Digues, oh estimat ocell meu,
digues, què t’ha promès l’esperança?”
