Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Die grauen Wolken streifen
Der alten Berge Rand,
Sie hüllen mir die Aussicht
Ins glückliche Niederland.

[Doch]1 über den grauen Wolken
Ist [goldner]2 Sonnenschein,
Da schwingt sich meine Liebe
[Auf]3 leichten Flügeln hinein.

[Sie]4 schwingt sich zu der Liebsten
Hinab in's ferne Thal,
Und spricht zu ihr: ich grüße
Dich [viel, viel tausendmal]5!

The grey clouds streak
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
The grey clouds streak
the edges of the venerable mountains,
they veil for me the view
of the happy lowland.

[But]1 above the grey clouds
is golden sunshine;
there my love resonates
On gossamer wings.

[It]2 vaults toward my beloved
down into the distant valley,
and speaks to her: I greet 
you a thousand, thousand times!
