Wir schreiten in goldener Fülle Durch seliges Sommerland, Fest liegen [unsere]1 Hände Wie in einander gebannt. Die große Sommersonne Hat [unsere]2 Herzen erhellt, Wir schreiten in goldener Fülle Bis an das Ende der Welt. Und bleicht deine sinkende Stirne, Und läßt meine Seele ihr Haus, Wir schreiten in goldener Fülle Auch in das Jenseits hinaus. Wem solch ein Sommer beschieden, [Der lacht der flüchtigen Zeit]3 Wir schreiten in goldener Fülle Durch alle Ewigkeit.4

We walk in golden abundance Through blissful summerland, Our hands lie firmly clasped, As if bound to one another. The great summer sun Has illuminated our hearts, We walk in golden abundance Until the end of the world And if your lowering brow pales, And if my soul leaves its home, We will walk in golden abundance In the next life as well. To whomever such a summer is granted, He laughs at the passage of time -- We walk in golden abundance Throughout eternity.
