Ihr Matten, lebt wohl, Ihr sonnigen Weiden! Der Senne muß scheiden, Der Sommer ist hin. Wir fahren zu Berg, wir kommen wieder, Wenn der Kuckuck ruft, wenn erwachen die Lieder, Wenn mit Blumen die Erde sich kleidet neu, Wenn die Brünnlein fließen im lieblichen Mai. Ihr Matten, lebt wohl, Ihr sonnigen Weiden! Der Senne muß scheiden, Der Sommer ist hin.

You meadows, farewell, you sunny pasturelands! The herdsman must leave, for summer is past. We travel to the mountain and return when the cuckoo calls, when songs awaken, when the earth adorns itself anew with flowers, when the springs flow in lovely May. You meadows, farewell, you sunny pasturelands! The herdsman must leave, for summer is past.
