From the light-surrounded hill
I look down into the valley,
Trust to the wings of the wind
Countless greetings!

Let once more sing
The sweet voice sound,
She may mitigate this yearning,
May ease the heavy path;

Farewell, my joy,
Farewell, my lovely ray of hope!
Far across the forest and the heathland,
Uphill, downhill, across the fields

My thoughts always follow you
I always walk by your side,
And I will never waver,
I'll be yours, be it there or here.

It resounds for a very long time
One last time your singing.
On my heart's strings
The familiar sound reverberates,

In my soul it penetrates
Like the light of mild hope
And consolation and rest it brings
And exclaims: Do not despair!

Can never reach you
My warm look of love,
In the bosom always
Your sweet image stays.

Close are the hearts,
Days and moons go by,
And after the pain of separation,
The beautiful reunion will be worth it.
