O Sonne, o Sonne, du ziehest Wol über die Berge und Höh'n, So grüße mein herziges Liebchen Ich hab's heut' nimmer geseh'n. O Sonne, dort drüben am Hause Zwei Weiden, zwei Weiden wehn; [Vor]1 ihrem offenen Fenster Zwei Lorbeerrosen steh'n. O scheidende Sonne, du ziehest Wol über die Berge und Höh'n, So grüße mein herziges Liebchen, Die dunkeln Augen mir schön.

Oh sun, oh sun, you pass Over the mountains and heights. Greet then my lovely sweetheart; I have not seen her at all today. Oh sun, over yonder by the house Two willows, two willows sway; [In front of]1 her open window Two mountain laurels stand. Oh departing sun, you pass Over the mountains and heights. Greet then my lovely sweetheart, [Greet] her dark eyes nicely for me.
