Wie lieblich grünt die Wiese Verklärt vom Sonnenschein! Wie sieht der Wald daneben So ernst und dunkel drein! Und fragst du ob die Wiese, Den Wald ich liebe mehr? So wiss', ich liebe beide, So Wald wie Wiese, sehr! Die Blonde und die Braune Sind beide, ach, so hold! Die Eine wenn sie lächelt, Die andre wenn sie schmollt! Die Blonde oder Braune, Sprich, welche liebst du mehr? Und sieh', ich lieb die Blonde Und lieb die Braune sehr!

How beautifully greens the meadow, Transfigured by sunshine! Beside it, how the forest Looks so solemn and dark! And if you ask whether I love The meadow or the forest more? Know then, I love both, Forest as well as meadow, very much! The blonde and the brunette Are both, ah, so lovely! The one when she smiles, The other when she pouts! The blonde or the brunette, Tell me, which one do you love more? And see, I love the blonde, And the love the brunette very much!
