Es [geht]1 ein Wind durch's weite Land,
Drängt Mund an Mund, [weht]2 Hand in Hand
Und [ist]3 als wie ein Singen.
Hat dich und mich zusammgeweht;
Und wenn er [auch mal]4 stille steht:
Wir Beide wollen springen.

A wind blows through the wide land
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
A wind [blows]1 through the wide land,
It urges lips to lips, [blows]1 hand into hand
And [is]2 like a singing.
It has blown you and me together;
And even if it [sometimes]3 stands still:
We two, let us leap [for joy].
