Ging heut morgen übers Feld, Tau noch auf den Gräsern hing; Sprach zu mir der lust'ge Fink: "Ei du! Gelt? Guten Morgen! Ei gelt? Du! Wird's nicht eine schöne Welt? Zink! Zink! Schön und flink! Wie mir doch die Welt gefällt!" Auch die Glockenblum' am Feld Hat mir lustig, guter Ding', Mit den Glöckchen, klinge, kling, Ihren Morgengruß geschellt: "Wird's nicht eine schöne Welt? Kling, kling! Schönes Ding! Wie mir doch die Welt gefällt! Heia!" Und da fing im Sonnenschein Gleich die Welt zu funkeln an; Alles Ton und Farbe gewann Im Sonnenschein! Blum' und Vogel, groß und klein! "Guten Tag, ist's nicht eine schöne Welt? Ei du, gelt? Schöne Welt?" Nun fängt auch mein Glück wohl an? Nein, nein, das ich mein', Mir nimmer blühen kann!

Ce matin, j'ai marché à travers les champs, La rosée était encore accrochée à l'herbe ; Le joyeux pinson me parlait : "Eh, toi ! N'est-ce pas ? Quel beau matin ! N'est-ce pas ? Toi ! Le monde ne sera-t-il pas beau ? Cui-cui ! Beau et vif ! Comme le monde me plaît !" Et dans le champ les campanules gaiement, ding-ding, m'ont carillonné avec leurs clochettes leur bonjour : "Le monde ne sera-t-il pas beau ? Ding-ding ! Il sera beau ! Comme le monde me plaît ! Holà !" Et alors, dans l'éclat du soleil, le monde commença soudain à briller ; tout a gagné son et couleur dans l'éclat du soleil ! Fleur et oiseau, petit et grand ! "Bonjour, le monde n'est-il pas beau ? Eh, toi! N'est-ce pas ? Un beau monde !" Mon bonheur commencera-t-il maintenant aussi ? Non, non, ce à quoi je pense Ne fleurira jamais !
