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

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