Zwei Musikanten ziehn daher Vom Wald aus weiter Ferne, Der eine ist verliebt gar sehr, Der andre wär es gerne. Die stehn allhier im kalten Wind Und singen schön und geigen: Ob nicht ein süßverträumtes Kind Am Fenster sich wollt' zeigen? Und durch das Fenster steigen ein Waldsrauschen und Gesänge, Da bricht der Sänger mit herein Im seligen Gedränge.

Deux musiciens arrivent ici Venant de la forêt lointaine, L'un est très amoureux, L'autre voudrait bien l'être. Ils sont juste là, dans le vent froid Et chantent bien et jouent du violon : N'y aurait-il point une jolie fille rêveuse Pour se montrer là-haut à sa fenêtre ? Et par la fenêtre passent Murmures de la forêt et chants, Alors le chanteur se mêle à eux Dans une joyeuse cohue.
