Frisch hinaus, frisch hinaus! Gewandert, gewandert! Sonne blicket so schön auf die Welt, Vögelein schlagen im Blätterzelt; Grün die Matten, wohin ich schau', Weiß die Wölklein im Himmelblau, Und siehe die Winde Wie lustig geschwinde Flattern sie von den Bergen daher, Als müßten sie heut noch über das Meer! Frisch hinaus, frisch hinaus! Gewandert, gewandert! Frisch hinaus, frisch hinaus! Gewandert, gewandert! Blitzend und schimmernd der Ströme Band, Glühend die Firnen am blauen Rand! Wogend die Saaten im Morgenthau, Schmetternd die Lerchen im fernsten Blau! Und die Bäume, die Bäume, Voll blühender Träume! Weiter, weiter! Empor, empor! Und jauchzt und singt mit der Vögel Chor: Frisch hinaus, frisch hinaus! Gewandert, gewandert!

Briskly outdoors, briskly outdoors! A-wandering, a-wandering! The sun gazes down upon the world so radiantly, The birdlets sing in the leafy canopy; The leas are green wherever I look, The cloudlets are white in the blue of heaven, And see the winds, How cheerfully, quickly They flutter along from the mountains, As if they had to travel across the sea today yet! Briskly outdoors, briskly outdoors! A-wandering, a-wandering! Briskly outdoors, briskly outdoors! A-wandering, a-wandering! Sparkling and shimmering the ribbon of the rivers, The old snow glowing at the blue border! The newly sprouted fields wave in the morning dew! The larks singing resoundingly in the most distant blue! And the trees, the trees, Full of blossoming dreams! Onward, onward! Upward, upward! And rejoice and sing with the choir of birds: Briskly outdoors, briskly outdoors! A-wandering, a-wandering!
