Ich muß hinaus, ich muß zu Dir, Ich muß es selbst Dir sagen: Du bist mein Frühling, Du nur mir In diesen lichten Tagen. Ich will die Rosen nicht mehr sehn, Nicht mehr die grünen Matten; Ich will nicht mehr zu Walde gehn Nach Duft und Klang und Schatten. Ich will nicht mehr der Lüfte Zug, Nicht mehr der Wellen Rauschen, Ich will nicht mehr der Vögel Flug Und ihrem Liede lauschen. -- Ich will hinaus, ich will zu Dir, Ich will es selbst Dir sagen: Du bist mein Frühling, Du nur mir In diesen lichten Tagen!

Devo uscire, andare da te, debbo proprio dirtelo: sei la mia primavera, soltanto tu in questi giorni colmi di luce. Non voglio più contemplare le rose E neppure i prati verdi; non voglio più addentrarmi nei boschi per cercarvi profumi, e suoni, e ombra. Non voglio più agitarsi di venti O mugghiare di onde nel mare; non voglio più volo di uccelli né il loro canto ascoltare. Voglio uscire, andare da te, voglio proprio dirtelo: sei la mia primavera, soltanto tu in questi giorni colmi di luce.
