Geliebter, wo zaudert Dein irrender Fuß? Die Nachtigall plaudert Von Sehnsucht und [Kuß]1. Es flüstern die Bäume Im goldenen Schein, Es schlüpfen mir Träume Zum Fenster [herein]2. Ach! kennst du das Schmachten Der klopfenden Brust? Dies Sinnen und Trachten Voll Qual und voll Lust? Beflügle die Eile Und rette mich dir, Bei nächtlicher Weile Entfliehn wir von hier. Die Segel, sie schwellen, Die Furcht ist nur Tand: Dort, jenseit den Wellen Ist väterlich Land. Die Heimat entfliehet; -- So fahre sie hin! Die Liebe, sie ziehet Gewaltig den Sinn. Horch! wollüstig klingen Die Wellen im Meer, Sie hüpfen und springen Mutwillig einher, Und sollten sie klagen? Sie rufen nach dir! Sie wissen, sie tragen Die Liebe von hier.

Estimat, on vacil·len els teus peus esgarriats? El rossinyol parla de l’anhel i del besar. Els arbres xiuxiuegen en una llum daurada, somnis s’esquitllen per la meva finestra. Ai, coneixes el delit d’un cor que batega? Aquests pensaments i anhels plens de turment i plens de goig? Dóna ales a la teva cuita i salva’m, a l’hora nocturna fugim d’aquí. S’inflen les veles, la temença és una fotesa: allà, a l’altra banda de les ones es troba el nostre país natal. La pàtria s’enfuig; navega cap allà! L’amor atrau amb força els pensaments. Escolta! Joioses ressonen les ones del mar, guimben i salten, entremaliades, ençà, i s’haurien de plànyer? Elles et criden! Saben que porten de lluny l’amor.
