O kühler Wald,
Wo rauschest du,

In Schmerzen schlief
Der Widerhall,
Die Lieder sind verweht.

Oh fresc boscatge
 (Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)
 See original
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Oh fresc boscatge,
on remoreges,
allà on va la meva estimada?
Oh eco,
on pares l’orella,
a qui entén la meva cançó?

 ... 

Al fons del meu cor,
remoreja el bosc
allà on va la meva estimada,
en la pena dorm
l’eco,
les cançons se les ha endut el vent.
