Lindes Rauschen in den Wipfeln, Vöglein, die ihr fernab fliegt, Bronnen von den stillen Gipfeln, Sagt, wo meine Heimat liegt? Heut im Traum sah ich [sie]1 wieder, Und von allen Bergen ging Solches Grüßen zu mir nieder, Daß ich an zu weinen fing. Ach! hier auf den fremden Gipfeln: Menschen, Quellen, Fels und Baum - [Wirres Rauschen in den Wipfeln]2 Alles ist mir wie ein Traum! Muntre Vögel in den Wipfeln, Ihr Gesellen dort im Tal, Grüßt mir von den fremden Gipfeln Meine Heimat tausendmal!

O gentle rustling in the tree-tops, O little birds who fly far away, O springs who come from the still peaks, Tell me where my homeland lies! Today in a dream I saw [it]1 again, And from every mountain Such greetings came down to me, That I began to weep. Ah! here on the foreign peaks, People, streams, rocks and trees - Confused rustling in the tree-tops - Everything is like a dream to me! O cheerful little birds in the tree-tops, O young men there in the vale, Bring my greetings from these foreign peaks, To my home a thousand times!
