Schwüle, schwüle Julinacht -- Südwind küsst die Zweige, Was dich so stolz und elend macht, Schweige mein Herz, verschweige! Über [den]1 See, der stille ruht, Wehen die Wolkenschatten, Über die stille schlafende Fluth, Über die schimmernden Matten. Hörst du's, wie zur Hochzeitnacht Flöte tönt und Geige? Was dich so stolz und elend macht, Schweige, mein Herz verschweige.

Humid, humid July night -- The southwind kisses the branches, Conceal, my heart, conceal That which makes you so haughty and miserable! Over the lake, which rests silently, The shadows of clouds blow, Over the quietly sleeping waters, Over the shimmering meadows. Do you hear how for the wedding night Flutes sound and violins? Conceal, my heart, conceal That which makes you so haughty and miserable!
