Little fish in the crystal-clear water
Rests so softly near the banks.
You cool yourself in the bright foam,
You breathe delight in the wide expanse[.]

Little bird with the colourful radiant plumage[,]
You swing yourself through the green grove[.]
You make it come alive with the sound of your songs.
My heart listens to you with such anxious joy.

Little flower upon the lovely meadow,
You are bedecked with such a friendly blue.
Secretly you breathe out a sweet scent[,]
The breeze blows balmily about you.

Nature comes aglow in new glory,
Only in my bosom it remains deep night,
No more power and determination to suffering!
Ah, peace, peace shall never return [to me].
