Woran denk' ich, wenn es Abend wird? An mein fernes, fernes Vaterhaus. Hab' im dichten Walde mich verirrt, Finde all mein Lebtag nicht heraus. O mein Vaterhaus Im fernen Vaterland, Fluch dem Armen, der sich von dir schied! Jede Blume welkt In seiner kranken Hand, Jeden Freund verscheucht sein düstres Lied.

Je songe à quoi lorsque tombe le soir ? À ma lointaine, lointaine maison paternelle. Je me suis égarée dans une épaisse forêt, Dont, de ma vie entière, je ne trouve l'issue. Ô ma maison paternelle Dans une lointaine patrie. Maudit le malheureux qui de toi se sépara ! Toute fleur se flétrit Dans sa main malade, Son morne chant fait fuir tout ami.
