Füllest wieder Busch und Thal
Still mit Nebelglanz,
Lösest endlich auch einmal
Meine Seele ganz;
Breitest über mein Gefild
Lindernd deinen Blick,
Wie des Freundes Auge mild
Über mein Geschick.
Jeden Nachklang fühlt mein Herz
Froh- und trüber Zeit,
Wandle zwischen Freud' und Schmerz
In der Einsamkeit.
Fließe, fließe, lieber Fluß!
Nimmer werd' ich froh,
So verrauschte Scherz und Kuß,
Und die Treue so.
...
Rausche, Fluß, das Thal entlang,
Ohne Rast und Ruh,
Rausche, flüstre meinem Sang
Melodien zu,
Wenn du in der Winternacht
Wüthend überschwillst,
Oder um die Frühlingspracht
Junger Knospen quillst.
Selig, wer sich vor der Welt
Ohne Haß verschließt,
Einen Freund am Busen hält
Und mit dem genießt,
Was, von Menschen nicht gewußt
Oder nicht bedacht,
Durch das Labyrinth der Brust
Wandelt in der Nacht.

Omple de nou la malesa i les valls,
en silenci, amb el teu boirós esclat,
i finalment, una vegada més,
allibera del tot la meva ànima.
Escampa sobre el meu terrer
el teu apaivagant esguard,
com els ulls clements de l’amic,
sobre el meu destí.
Cada ressò emplena el meu cor
del temps joiós i trist,
camino entre la joia i el dolor
en la solitud.
Corre, corre, riu estimat!
Mai més tornaré a estar alegre;
quan s’han esvanit rialles i besades
i àdhuc la fidelitat.
...
Fresseja, oh riu, al llarg de la vall,
sense pausa ni repòs,
fresseja, tot xiuxiuejant
melodies al meu cant,
quan tu a les nits d’hivern
creixes amb desmesura
o quan, a l’esplendor de la primavera,
fas brotar joves poncelles.
Benaurat aquell que del món
es reclou sense rancúnia,
que estreny al seu cor un amic
i amb ell gaudeix,
del que els humans no han sabut
o ni tan sols han considerat,
el que a través del laberint del cor
vagareja per la nit.
