Ich komme heim [aus dem]1 Sonnenland! Ich bin den ganzen blühenden Tag In [lauter]2 Schönheit gegangen! [Nun]3 fliegts mir um Stirn und Wangen, [Noch wie]4 ein verklärter seliger Schein... Sieh' mir nicht so in die Augen hinein, Sonst nimmt er dich auch gefangen; Dann kommen wir nicht von einander los, Und schauen uns an, so sehnsuchtsgroß, [Finden]5 aus lachendem [Märchenglück]6 Nie mehr den Weg [in das]7 Leben zurück.

Je reviens du pays du soleil ! Toute cette florissante journée, Je l'ai passée en pure beauté ! Encore autour de mon front et de mes joues voltige Comme une clarté extatique et transfigurée. Ne me regarde pas ainsi dans les yeux, Sinon ils te feront aussi prisonnier ; Nous ne pourrons alors plus nous libérer l'un de l'autre, Et nous nous regarderons avec un désir si grand Que nous ne retrouverons plus jamais Le chemin du riant pays du soleil vers la vie.
