Es [geht]¹ ein Wind durch's weite Land,
Drängt Mund an Mund, [weht]² Hand in Hand

Hat dich und mich zusammgeweht;
Und wenn er [auch mal]⁴  stille steht:
Wir Beide wollen springen.

Er waait een wind door ’t wijde land

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Er [waait]¹ een wind door ’t wijde land,
[Drukt]² mond op mond, [blaast]³ hand in hand,

Heeft jou en mij bijeengeveegd;
En zelfs [als hij]⁵ niet meer beweegt:
Wij beiden willen springen.
