[Ich auf der Erd', am Himmel du]1, Wir wandern beide rüstig zu: - Ich ernst und trüb, du [mild]2 und rein, Was mag der Unterschied wol seyn? Ich wandre fremd von Land zu Land, So heimatlos, so unbekannt; Bergauf, bergab, waldein, waldaus, Doch [bin ich nirgend - ach! -]3 zu Haus. Du aber wanderst auf und ab Aus [Westens Wieg' in Ostens]4 Grab, - Wallst länderein und länderaus, Und bist doch, wo du bist, zu Haus. Der Himmel, endlos ausgespannt, Ist dein geliebtes Heimatland: O glücklich, wer wohin er geht, Doch auf der Heimat Boden steht!

Io sulla terra, in cielo tu Veloci insieme procediamo: Io cupo e serio, gentile tu In cosa allora differiamo? Un senza patria ignoto a tutti, Di terra in terra, straniero, vago, su e giù pei monti, per boschi fitti Io non ho casa in nessun luogo. Da est ad ovest, fra culla e sepolcro Tu invece percorri la tua strada Sempre attraversi un paese diverso Ma, ovunque ti trovi, sei sempre a casa. Il cielo che si estende infinito E' sempre la tua amata patria; Felice colui, che ovunque sia stato, Comunque rimane nella sua casa.
