Aus der Heimat hinter den Blitzen rot
Da kommen die Wolken her,
Aber Vater und Mutter sind lange tot,
Es kennt mich dort keiner mehr.

Wie bald, wie bald kommt die stille Zeit,
Da ruhe ich auch, und über mir
rauscht die schöne Waldeinsamkeit,
Und keiner kennt mich mehr hier.

En la lejanía

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

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

Desde casa, tras los rayos rojos
vienen hacia aquí las nubes,
pero mi padre y madre murieron hace un largo tiempo
y nadie más me conoce aquí.

Qué pronto, qué pronto llega el tiempo tranquilo
en que yo también descansaré, y sobre mí
murmura la hermosa soledad del bosque
y nadie más me conoce aquí.
