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.
Je weiter meine Stimme dringt,
Je heller sie mir wiederklingt
Von unten.
Mein Liebchen wohnt so fern von mir,
Drum sehn' ich mich so heiß nach ihr
Hinüber!
...
Ein Glöckchen klingt im stillen Thal,
Die Essen rauchen überall
Im Dorfe.
Ach, Mädchen, Mädchen, nimm mich bald!
Es ist so öd', es ist so kalt
Hier oben.

当我站在最高岩上，
低头朝向深谷张望，
还歌唱。
来自深谷幽暗遥远，
回声扶摇直往上传，
在山涧。
我的声音传播越远，
更明亮的声音回传
从下面。
情人居住路途遥遥，
如此热切将她远眺
向那边。
...
铃响寂静山谷中间，
炊烟袅袅到处皆见
村庄里。
啊，姑娘，姑娘，将我领！
多么孤独，多么寒冷
此处高。
