Die Berge sind spitz Und die Berge sind kalt, Mein Schatz steigt zu Berge Und ich in den Wald. Da tröpfelt das Laub Von Regen und Thau, Ob die Augen da tröpfeln, Wer sieht es genau?

Les montagnes sont pointues Et les montagnes sont froides. Ma bien-aimée grimpe sur la montagne Et je vais dans la forêt. Les feuilles versent des gouttes De pluie et de rosée. Si les yeux versent des gouttes, Qui peut le voir clairement ?
