Du bist vom Schlaf erstanden Und wandelst durch die Au. Da liegt ob allen Landen Der Himmel wunderblau. [So lang du ohne Sorgen Geschlummert schmerzenlos]1, Der Himmel bis zum Morgen Viel Tränen niedergoß. In stillen Nächten weinet Oft mancher aus dem Schmerz, Und morgens dann [ihr]2 meinet, Stets fröhlich sei sein Herz.

Tu as émergé de ton sommeil, Et te promènes de par les champs. Là, par-dessus tout le pays Le ciel est merveilleusement bleu. Pendant tout le temps où sans souci, Tu sommeillais, sans peines, Jusqu'au matin le ciel A versé de nombreuses larmes. Souvent dans les nuits silencieuses , Bien des êtres pleurent de douleur, Et le matin suivant vous pensez Néanmoins qu'ils ont le cœur joyeux.
