Im Walde geh ich wohlgemut, Mir graut vor Räubern nicht; Ein liebend Herz ist all mein Gut, Das sucht kein Bösewicht. Was rauscht, was raschelt durch den Busch? Ein Mörder, der mir droht? Mein Liebchen kommt gesprungen, husch! Und herzt mich fast zu Tod.

Je vais joyeusement dans la forêt, Je ne redoute pas les brigands ; Mon seul bien est un cœur aimant Qui n'intéresse pas les scélérats. Quel est ce bruit, ce froissement dans les buissons ? Un assassin me menace-t-il ? Ma bien-aimée arrive en sautant, hop ! Et me serre sur son cœur à en mourir.
