Durch Feld und Wald zu schweifen, Mein Liedchen wegzupfeifen, So gehts von Ort zu Ort! Und nach dem Takte reget, Und nach dem Maaß beweget Sich alles an mir fort. Ich kann sie kaum erwarten, Die erste Blum' im Garten, Die erste Blüt' am Baum. Sie grüßen meine Lieder, Und kommt der Winter wieder, Sing' ich noch jenen Traum. Ich sing' ihn in der Weite, Auf Eises Läng' und Breite, Da blüht der Winter schön! Auch diese Blüte schwindet, Und neue Freude findet Sich auf bebauten Höhn. Denn wie ich bei der Linde Das junge Völkchen finde, Sogleich erreg' ich sie. Der stumpfe Bursche bläht sich, Das steife Mädchen dreht sich Nach meiner Melodie. Ihr gebt den Sohlen Flügel Und treibt, durch Thal und Hügel, Den Liebling weit von Haus. Ihr lieben holden Musen, Wann ruh' ich ihr am Busen Auch endlich wieder aus?

漫遊在田野與森林裏 笛聲吹起我的歌 這樣我四處遊蕩！ 隨著節奏 按照程度 萬事與我皆和諧相處 我迫不急待地等著 花園中綻放的第一朵花 樹上冒出的第一朵蓓蕾 它們跟我的歌打招呼 即使冬天再來 我仍歌唱這夢想 我唱 又遠又廣 遍及這冰封的大地 在那裡冬天也綻放了美麗的花 這花 消逝了 但是 新的喜悅飛昇 在那耕耘過的高地上 然後，當菩提樹旁 我尋到了二位年輕人時 我即刻喚醒他們 青澀的男孩長大 散發活力 僵硬的少女 隨著我的旋律婆娑起舞 你們在雙足上安插羽翼 並行遍高山深谷 妳所愛的 遠離他的家園 美麗聖潔的繆斯女神 至終何時， 我能再次安憩在妳胸懷？
