by Eduard Mörike (1804 - 1875)

Wanderlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Entflohn sind wir der Stadt Gedränge,
Wie anders leuchtet hier der Tag!
Wie klingt in unsre Lustgesänge
Lerchensang hier and Wachtelschlag!

Nun wandern wir and lassen gerne
Herrn Griesgram zu Haus;
Ein frischer Blick dringt in die Ferne
Nur immer hinaus!
Wir wandern, bis der späte Abend taut,
Wir rasten, bis der Morgen wieder graut.

Man lagert sich am Schattenquelle,
Wo erst das muntre Reh geruht;
Aus hohler Hand trinkt sich der helle,
Kühle Trank wohl noch eins so gut.

Nun wandern wir and lassen gerne
Herrn Griesgram zu Haus;
Ein frischer Blick dringt in die Ferne
Nur immer hinaus!
Wir wandern, bis der späte Abend taut,
Wir rasten, bis der Morgen wieder graut.
