Nun gebt mir meinen Wanderstab nun will ich wieder wandern mit frischem Mut, bergauf, bergan von einem Strom zum andern! Die letzte bange Träne fällt in diesen lichten Tagen - O grüner Wald, o grüne Welt helft mir die Wonne tragen! Ade, du stilles Kämmerlein mit deinem Gram und Leiden! Willkommen warmer Sonnenschein mit deiner Lust und Freuden! Die erste Freudenträne fällt in diesen lichten Tagen - O grüner Wald, o grüne Welt helft mir die Wonne tragen! Es streut der junge Frühlingstag das Grün aus vollen Händen; wohin ich immer ziehen mag es blüht an allen Enden. Aufs Wandern ist mein Sinn gestellt seit langen langen Tagen - O grüner Wald, o grüne Welt helft mir die Wonne tragen!

Give me now my walking staff I would now like to go hiking With fresh vigor, uphill, downhill From one stream to the next! The last anxious tear would fall In these bright days – O green forest, o verdant world Help me bear the delight! Farewell, little quiet room With your cares and woes! Welcome, warm sunshine, With your passion and joys! The first blissful tears would fall In these bright days – O green forest, o verdant world Help me bear the delight! The young spring day strews Greenness from its overflowing hands; Wherever I take myself It is always blooming endlessly. My mind has been fixed on hiking For many, many days – O green forest, o verdant world Help me bear the delight!
