Um bei dir zu sein, Trüg ich Not und Fährde, Ließ ich Freund und Haus Und die Fülle der Erde. Mich verlangt nach dir, Wie die Flut nach dem Strande, Wie die Schwalbe im Herbst Nach dem südlichen Lande; Wie den Alpsohn heim, Wenn er denkt, Nachts alleine An die Berge voll Schnee Im Mondenscheine.

Pour être près de toi, J'ai supporté la misère et les dangers J'ai abandonné amis et maison, Et l'abondance de la terre. Je me languis de toi, Comme le flot de la plage, Comme au printemps l'hirondelle Des pays du sud ; Comme le fils des Alpes de sa maison Quand il pense seul, la nuit, À la montagne pleine de neige Au clair de lune.
