  Bleibe hier und singe,
Liebe Nachtigall!
Dein Gesang erklinge
Schmetternd überall.

  Flur und Waldung lauschet,
Alles hört dir zu;
Nicht ein Blättchen rauschet,
Bleiben all in Ruh.

 ... 

  Hör' ich recht, so brauset
Minder jetzt der Bach,
Da hier Stille hauset,
Läßt sein Toben nach.

  Bleibe hier und singe,
Liebe Nachtigall!
Dein Gesang erklinge
Schmetternd überall.

Resta aquí i canta,
estimat rossinyol!
Que el teu cant ressoni
amb força a tot arreu.

Els camps i els boscos paren l’orella,
tothom t’escolta;
ni tan sols una petita fulla fa fressa,
tots resten en silenci.

 ... 

Si jo sento bé, el murmuri
del rierol és ara més fluixet,
atès que aquí regna el silenci,
es calma la seva fúria.

Resta aquí i canta,
estimat rossinyol!
Que el teu cant ressoni
amb força a tot arreu.
