Ihr meine Berge, meine Wälder, Wie seid ihr doch so hehr, so schön! Ja, kühner schlägt mein Herz doch wieder Auf euren freien, stolzen Höh'n! Wenn unter mir die grünen Forsten, Die Tiefe noch im Schlummer liegt, Da hat sich dort im blauen Aether Der stolze Adler längst gewiegt. Und über sonnbeglänzten Schluchten, Wie rauscht die Quelle doch so traut, An deren Fuss der Hirtenknabe Hell singend in die Täler schaut. Und über allem liegt ein Frieden Und über Allen liegt die Lust, So dass dein Blick bald Frühling glänzet Und auch du hell aufjauchzen musst.

You my mountains, my woods, How you are so lofty, so beautiful! Yea, how my heart again beats more boldly Upon your free, proud heights! When below me the green forests, The depths still lie in slumber, There in the blue aether The proud eagle has long hovered already. And above the sunlit ravines, How the water-spring burbles so familiarly, At whose foot the shepherd lad Gazes into the valleys, singing brightly. And over everything there lies a peace And over everything lies joy, So that your gaze soon shines like springtime And you too, must rejoice brightly.
