Mit Sturm und Nacht durch fremdes Land
Irr' ich in Einsamkeit;
Doch sing' ich froh durch Berg und Tal,
Ich weiß, mir wird kein Leid.
Sie schützt der Himmel liebevoll,
Wär' er auch zürnend mir,
Mir wird kein Schmerz, mir wird kein Leid,
Denn alles ja würd' ihr.

With storm and night through a foreign land
I wander in solitude;
Yet I sing joyfully through mountains and valleys,
I know no harm shall come to me.
She [my beloved] is lovingly guarded by heaven,
Even if [heaven] is angry with me,
No pain shall come to me, no sorrow shall come to me,
For everything [that comes to me] would also come to her.
