Der Regen strömt, die Sonne scheint,
Es geht bergauf, es geht bergab, --
Ich denke sie, die mich nur meint,
Sie, die mir ihre Treue gab.

Was gehst du suchend durch das Land,
Du Müder mit ergrautem Bart? --
Ich suche nicht, was ich schon fand,
Ich suche nicht, was mir schon ward.

Il pleut à verse, le soleil brille

(Sung text translation for setting by H. Wolf)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Il pleut à verse, le soleil brille,
Je vais par monts et par vaux,
Je pense à elle, qui ne pense qu'à moi,
Elle qui m'a donné sa foi.

Que vas-tu chercher par le pays,
Toi, fatigué, avec une barbe grise ?
Je ne cherche pas ce que j'ai déjà trouvé,
Je ne cherche pas ce que j'ai déjà obtenu.
