Sonne, [leuchte]1 mir ins Herz hinein, Wind, verweh mir Sorgen und Beschwerden! Tiefere Wonne weiß ich nicht auf Erden, Als im Weiten unterwegs zu sein. Nach der Ebene nehm ich meinen Lauf, Sonne soll mich sengen, Meer mich kühlen; Unsrer Erde Leben mitzufühlen, Tu ich alle Sinne festlich auf. Und so soll mir jeder neue Tag Neue Freunde, neue Brüder weisen, Bis ich leidlos alle Kräfte preisen, Aller Sterne Gast und Freund sein mag.

Soleil, éclaire l'intérieur de mon cœur, Vent, disperse mes tracas et mes plaintes ! Je ne connais pas de plus grand bonheur sur terre, Que de cheminer dans les grands espaces. Je dirige ma course vers la plaine, Le soleil me bénira, la mer me rafraîchira ; Pour partager la sensation de vie de notre terre J'ouvre cérémonieusement tous mes sens. Et ainsi chaque jour nouveau Me montrera nouveaux amis, nouveaux frères, Tant que sans peine je louerai toutes forces, Qu'elles soient étoiles, hôtes ou amis.
