Über die Berge steigt schon die Sonne, Die Lämmerheerde läutet von fern: Mein Liebchen, mein Lamm, meine Sonne und Wonne, Noch einmal säh' ich dich gar zu gern! Ich schaue hinauf mit spähender Miene, "Leb' wohl, mein Kind, ich wandre von hier!" Vergebens! es regt sich keine Gardine; Sie liegt noch und schläft und träumt von mir.

Per damunt les muntanyes ja surt el sol, de lluny se sent el ressò del ramat d’ovelles: amor meu, el meu anyell, el meu sol i el meu goig, m’agradaria veure’t encara una vegada! Miro a la finestra amb posat inquisidor: “Adéu, criatura meva, me’n vaig d’aquí!” Debades! No es mou cap cortina; ella encara jeu al llit i dorm, i somia amb mi.
