Wer in die Fremde will wandern, Der muß mit der Liebsten gehn, Es jubeln und lassen die andern Den Fremden alleine stehn. Was wisset ihr, [dunkele]1 Wipfel, Von der alten, schönen Zeit? Ach, die Heimat hinter den Gipfeln, Wie liegt sie von hier so weit? Am liebsten betracht' ich die Sterne, Die schienen, wie ich ging zu ihr, Die Nachtigall hör' ich so gerne, Sie sang vor der Liebsten Tür. Der Morgen, das ist meine Freude! Da steig' ich in stiller Stund' Auf den höchsten Berg in die Weite, Grüß dich, Deutschland, aus Herzensgrund!

Celui qui veut voyager à l’étranger, il faut y aller avec son aimée ; parce que les autres se paient du bon temps et laissent l’étranger seul dans son coin. Que savez-vous, sombres cimes, des beaux jours passés ? Ah, le pays natal, de l’autre côté des crêtes comme il paraît loin d’ici. Ce que je préfère, c’est contempler les étoiles, elles brillaient quand j’allais vers elle ; j’aime tant entendre le rossignol il chantait devant la porte de l’aimée. Le matin, quelle joie ! A l’heure paisible, je monte sur la montagne la plus haute alentour et je te salue, Allemagne, du fond du coeur !
