Weite Wiesen im Dämmergrau; die Sonne verglomm, die Sterne ziehn, nun geh' [ich]1 zu der schönsten Frau, weit über Wiesen im Dämmergrau, tief in den Busch von Jasmin. Durch Dämmergrau in der Liebe Land; ich gehe nicht schnell, ich eile nicht; mich zieht ein weiches samtenes Band durch Dämmergrau in der Liebe Land, in ein [mildes, blaues]2 Licht.
1 Strauss: "ich hin"
2 Sinding, Strauss: "blaues, mildes"

Prati lontani nel grigio del crepuscolo; il sole cala, vengono le stelle, ora vado verso la onna più bella, lontano per i prati nel grigio del crepuscolo, tra i fitti cespugli di gelsomino. Nel grigio del crepuscolo alla terra dell'amore; non vado veloce, non ho fretta; mi guida un morbido nastro di seta nel grigio del crepuscolo alla terra dell'amore, in una soave luce azzurra.
