Von allen Bergen nieder So fröhlich Grüßen schallt - Das ist der Frühling wieder, Der ruft zum grünen Wald! Ein Liedchen ist erklungen Herauf zum stillen Schloß - Dein Liebster hat's gesungen Der hebt Dich auf sein Roß. Wir reiten so geschwinde, Von allen Menschen weit. - Da rauscht die Luft so linde In Waldeseinsamkeit. Wohin? Im Mondenschimmer So bleich der Wald schon steht. - Leis rauscht die Nacht - frag' nimmer, Wo Lieb' zu Ende geht!

Descendant de toutes les montagnes De joyeux saluts résonnent -- Le printemps est revenu Qui appelle vers la forêt ! Une chansonnette a retenti La-haut, vers le château silencieux -- C'est ton amoureux qui l'a chantée, Qui te porte sur son cheval. Nous galopons bien vite Loin de tous le monde, Là où le zéphyr bruit si doucement, Dans la solitude de la forêt. Où ? Dans le clair de lune La forêt est déjà si pâle. La nuit bruit faiblement -- ne demande pas Où l'amour arrive à son terme !
