In der Freie will ich leben. In dem Sarge dumpft der Tod. Sieh nur dort das Abendroth Um die heitern Hügel weben. In der Freie blüht das Leben, In der Enge hockt die Noth. Eilt, drum eilt hinaus zu streben, Eh das Herz zu stocken droht! Licht und Luft und Raum ist noth. In der Freie will ich leben. Traute Vögel, laßt uns schweben, Folgsam der Natur Gebot.

Jo vull viure a l’aire lliure. Al fèretre hi fa olor de mort. Guaita, com allà la vermellor del capvespre s’entrellaça amb els serens tossals. A l’aire lliure floreix la vida, a l’estretor s’arrauleix la fretura. Afanya’t, afanya’t i malda per sortir, abans que el cor amenaci d’aturar-se! La llum, l’aire i l’espai són necessaris. Jo vull viure a l’aire lliure. Estimats ocells, deixeu-nos volar, obeint les lleis de la natura.
