Schöne Sennin, noch einmal [Singe]1 deinen Ruf in's Thal, Daß die frohe Felsensprache Deinem hellen Ruf erwache. Horch, o [Mädchen]2, wie dein Sang In die Brust den Bergen drang, Wie dein Wort die Felsenseelen Freudig fort und fort erzählen! Aber einst, wie Alles flieht, Scheidest du mit deinem Lied, Wenn dich Liebe fortbewogen, Oder dich der Tod entzogen. Und verlassen werden stehn, Traurig stumm herübersehn Dort die grauen Felsenzinnen Und auf deine Lieder sinnen.

Bella pastora, ancora una volta la tua bella voce nella valle risuona, in modo che l'eco dei monti, lieta, il tuo richiamo pronta ripeta! Ascolta, pastora, come il tuo canto nella montagna penetra in in fondo, come la pietra la tua parola felice ripete, e ancora, e ancora! Ma un giorno questo apparterrà al passato ed il tuo canto ormai sarà muto, forse l'amore ti avrà preso per mano o sarà la morte a portarti lontano. E noi resteremo solitari e in silenzio, con occhi tristi, guardando là in alto verso le grigie cime dei monti pensando ancora ai dolci tuoi canti.
