Bleibe hier und singe, Liebe Nachtigall! Dein Gesang erklinge Schmetternd überall. Flur und Waldung lauschet, Alles hört dir zu; Nicht ein Blättchen rauschet, Bleiben all in Ruh. Dich bewundernd schweiget Rings der Vögel Chor, Seinen Höhn entsteiget 's Eichhorn, wird ganz Ohr. Hör' ich recht, so brauset Minder jetzt der Bach, Da hier Stille hauset, Läßt sein Toben nach. Bleibe hier und singe, Liebe Nachtigall! Dein Gesang erklinge Schmetternd überall.
R. Schumann sets stanzas 1-2, 4-5

Resta aquí i canta, estimat rossinyol! Que el teu cant ressoni amb força a tot arreu. Els camps i els boscos paren l’orella, tothom t’escolta; ni tan sols una petita fulla fa fressa, tots resten en silenci. Amb admiració per a tu calla el cor d’ocells al voltant, baixant de les seves alçades, l’esquirol és tot orelles. Si jo sento bé, el murmuri del rierol és ara més fluixet, atès que aquí regna el silenci, es calma la seva fúria. Resta aquí i canta, estimat rossinyol! Que el teu cant ressoni amb força a tot arreu.
