Ein Vöglein singt so süße Vor mir von Ort zu Ort; Weh, meine wunden Füße! Das Vöglein singt so süße, Ich wandre immerfort. Wo ist nun hin das Singen? Schon sank das Abendrot; Die Nacht hat es verstecket, Hat alles zugedecket - Wem klag ich meine Not? Kein Sternlein blinkt im Walde, Weiß weder Weg noch Ort; Die Blumen an der Halde, Die Blumen in dem Walde, Die blühn im Dunkeln fort.

Un petit oiseau chante si doucement Devant moi, de place en place; Mes pieds blessés me font mal! Le petit oiseau chante si doucement, Et je poursuis toujours mon chemin. Où est passé maintenant le chant? Déjà tombent les rougeoiements du soir; La nuit les a recouverts, Elle a tout recouvert - Auprès de qui crier misère? Aucune petite étoile ne brille dans la forêt Je ne connais ni le chemin ni l'endroit; Les fleurs sur la pente, Les fleurs dans la forêt Continuent de fleurir dans le noir.
