 ... 

Kein Haus, keine Heimat,
Kein Weib und kein Kind,
So wirbl' ich, ein Strohhalm,
In Wetter und Wind!

Well' auf und Well' nieder,
Bald dort und bald hier;
Welt, fragst du nach mir nicht,
Was frag' ich nach dir?

Pas de maison, pas de patrie

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

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

 ... 

Pas de maison, pas de patrie,
Pas de femme, pas d'enfant,
Ainsi je tourbillonne comme un fétu de paille
Dans la tempête et le vent !

Secoué par les vagues,
Ici à un moment, là à un autre ;
Monde, si tu ne demandes pas après moi,
Pourquoi je demanderais après toi ?
