Hinter jenen dichten Wäldern Weilst du meine Süßgeliebte Weit ach weit, weit ach weit! Berstet ihr Felsen, Ebnet euch Täler, Daß ich ersehe, Daß ich erspähe Meine ferne, süße Maid!

Achter gindse dichte wouden Woon jij, mijn zo teer beminde, Weg zo wijd, weg zo wijd! Breek toch, o rotsen, Effen je, dalen, Dat 'ḱ mag aanschouwen In 't oog mag houen Mijn zo verre, lieve meid!
