Den freien Flug -- wer gönnt ihn mir
Hinauf in lichte Bläue?
So flieg ich denn zu dir, zu dir,
Du meine Lieb und Treue.
 
Durch Schnee und Nebel eil ich fort,
Wo ich dich weiß, du Süße,
Und finde schön den rauhsten Ort,
Wo ich dich heimlich grüße.

Free flight ‑‑ who grants it me

(Sung text translation for setting by G. Jenner)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Free flight -- who grants it me,
The flight up into bright blueness?
Thus I fly to you, to you,
You, my love and faithful one.
 
Through snow and rain I hurry away
To where I know you are, you sweet one,
And I find beautiful even the roughest place
Where I secretly greet you.
