Da fahr' ich still im Wagen, Du bist so weit von mir, Wohin er mich mag tragen, Ich bleibe doch bei dir. Da fliegen Wälder, Klüfte Und schöne Täler tief Und Lerchen hoch in Lüften, Als ob dein' Stimme rief. Die Sonne lustig scheinet Weit über das Revier, Ich bin so froh verweinet, Und singe still in mir. Vom Berge geht's hinunter, Das Posthorn schallt im Grund, Mein' Seel' wird mir so munter, Grüß' dich aus Herzensgrund.

Dans la voiture, je voyage en silence, Tu es si loin de moi, Où qu'elle puisse me mener, Je resterai toujours près de toi. Là filent les forêts, les abîmes Et de belles et profondes vallées, Et les alouettes, haut dans le ciel Comme si ta voix appelait. Le soleil brille gaiement, Loin au-dessus du pays Je suis si joyeux et en larmes, Et en moi je chante en silence. On descend de la montagne, En bas le cor du postillon retentit, Comme mon âme devient allègre, Je te salue du fond du cœur.
