Ich hör' die Bächlein rauschen
Im Walde her und hin,
Im Walde in dem Rauschen
Ich weiß nicht, wo ich bin.

Die Nachtigallen schlagen
Hier in der Einsamkeit,
Als wollten sie was sagen
Von der alten, schönen Zeit.

Die Mondesschimmer fliegen,
Als säh ich unter mir
Das Schloß im Thale liegen,
Und ist doch so weit von hier!

Als müßte in dem Garten
Voll Rosen weiß und roth,
Meine Liebste auf mich warten,
Und ist doch lange todt.

Note: modernized spelling would change "Thale" to "Tale", "roth" to "rot", and "todt" to "tot"

En el extranjero

(Sung text translation for setting by O. Dresel)

See original

Language: Spanish (Español) after the German (Deutsch)

Yo escucho a los arroyuelos susurrar
en el bosque, aquí y allá.
En el bosque, en él murmuran
yo no sé en dónde estoy.

Los ruiseñores cantan
aquí en la soledad,
como si quisieran hablar
sobre viejos, bellos tiempos.

Los rayos de luna vuelan,
y me parece ver debajo mio
un castillo en el valle yaciendo,
pero queda tan lejos de aquí!

Pareciera como si en el jardín,
lleno de rosas blancas y rojas,
mi amada estuviera esperándome
pero hace tiempo está muerta.
