Er stieg vom Pferd und reichte ihm den Trunk Des Abschieds dar. Er fragte ihn, wohin Er führe und auch warum es müßte sein. Er sprach, seine Stimme war umflort: Du, mein Freund, Mir war auf dieser Welt das Glück nicht hold! Wohin ich geh? Ich geh, ich wandre in die Berge. Ich suche Ruhe für mein einsam Herz. Ich wandle nach der Heimat, meiner Stätte. Ich werde niemals in die Ferne schweifen. Still ist mein Herz und harret seiner Stunde! Die liebe Erde allüberall Blüht auf im Lenz und grünt Aufs neu! Allüberall und ewig Blauen licht die Fernen! Ewig... ewig...

Ele desceu do cavalo e lhe estendeu a bebida Da despedida. Ele lhe perguntou, aonde Ele ia e também por que tinha de ser assim. Ele falou, sua voz era chorosa: - Você, meu amigo, Neste mundo, a felicidade não foi gentil comigo! Aonde vou? Eu ando, eu caminho rumo às montanhas. Eu busco paz para meu coração solitário. Eu vou em direção ao lar, ao meu lugar. Nunca mais andarei ao longe sem rumo. Meu coração está calmo, aguardando a sua hora. A querida terra, por todo lado Floresce na primavera e fica verde Novamente! Por todo o lado e eternamente Azuis iluminam o horizonte! Eternamente… eternamente…
