Nimm sie hin denn, diese Lieder, Die ich dir, Geliebte, sang, Singe sie dann abends wieder Zu der Laute süßem Klang. Wenn das Dämmrungsrot dann ziehet Nach dem stillen blauen See, Und sein letzter Strahl verglühet Hinter jener Bergeshöh; Und du singst, was ich gesungen, Was mir aus der vollen Brust ohne Kunstgepräng erklungen, Nur der Sehnsucht sich bewußt: Dann vor diesen Liedern weichet Was geschieden uns so weit, Und ein liebend Herz erreichet Was ein liebend Herz geweiht.

Toma, pues, estas canciones, que he cantado, amada, para ti. Cántalas en la tarde, al dulce sonido del laúd, cuando el rojo crepúsculo se apaga tras el tranquilo lago azul y sus últimos rayos se extinguen tras las cimas de las montañas. Cantarás lo que he cantado, lo que del fondo de mi pecho brotó sin presunción de arte, movido solo por la nostalgia. Y ante estos cantos cederá lo que tanto nos separa, pues un amante corazón alcanza lo que otro amante corazón le dedicó.
