Mir ist's so eng allüberall! Es schlägt das Herz mit lautem Schall, Und was da schallt, sind Lieder! Aus düstrer Mauern bangem Ring Flieg' ich ins Weite froh und flink: Da atm' ich Wonne wieder! Da flattert aus der offnen Brust Die Sehnsucht nach verrauschter Lust Und nach gehoffter Wonne: Die Winde tragen's himmelan, Die Gräslein geben Fürbitt' dran, Sich neigend in der Sonne. Mir ist's so eng allüberall! Es schlägt das Herz mit lautem Schall, Und was da schallt, sind Lieder! Aus düstrer Mauern bangem Ring Flieg' ich ins Weite froh und flink: Da atm' ich Wonne wieder, Da atm' ich Wonne wieder; Es schlägt das Herz mit lautem Schall, Und was da schallt, sind Lieder!

Em sento tan oprimit per tot arreu! El meu cor batega amb un fort ressò, i el que allà ressona són cançons! Lluny de l’angoixant cercle de llòbrecs murs, volo vers l’espai lliure, joiós i lleuger: allà puc respirar de nou el goig! Llavors, del meu pit obert es remou un anhel per als plaers perduts i per al goig que desitjava: el vent els porta cap al cel, els brins d’herba fan de mitjancers vinclant-se vers el sol. Em sento tan oprimit per tot arreu! El meu cor batega amb un fort ressò, i el que allà ressona són cançons! Lluny de l’angoixant cercle de llòbrecs murs, volo vers l’espai lliure, joiós i lleuger: allà puc respirar de nou el goig, allà puc respirar de nou el goig; el meu cor batega amb un fort ressò, i el que allà ressona, són cançons!
