Da drüben über'm Walde Da singt ein Vogel schön, Da drüben an dem Bache Seh' ich ein Rehlein geh'n, Da drüben! Und wo der Vogel singet Und wo das Rehlein geht, Da drüben bei den Tannen Der Liebsten Hütte steht, Da drüben! Möcht' mit dem Vogel singen, [Und zu]1 dem Rehlein geh'n, Da drüben heimlich lauschend Durch's kleine Fenster seh'n, Da drüben!

Down yonder o'er the forest there sings a radiant bird, down yonder by the streamlet I see a young doe walk, down yonder! down yonder! And where the bird doth sing and where the doe doth walk down yonder by the fir trees the hut of my dearest stands, down yonder! down yonder! Would I could sing with the birds Would I could walk with the does, down yonder list'ning in secret glancing through windows small.
