Bariton-Solo Jetzt sank des Abends goldner Schein Auf Syriens Rosenland herein, Wie Glorienschimmer hing die Sonn' Über dem heil'gen Libanon. Es ragt in Wintermajestät Sein Haupt, vom ew'gen Schnee beglänzt, Indes der Sommer schläft bekränzt Am Fuß auf einem Blumenbeet. Die aus der Höhe konnte schau'n Herab auf all die Zauberau'n, Wie schön erschien ihr nicht die Welt, Das rege Leben, rings erhellt Der Gärten Pracht, der Wellen Schimmern, An ihren Ufern goldne Früchte, Die schöner noch im Sonnenlichte, Und dann das tausendstimm'ge Rufen, Das alte Schäferrohr, das Summen Der Bienen im gelobten Land, Die schwärmen über Blumenfelder, Und Jordan, dein beglückter Strand Und deine nachtigallenreichen Wälder!

Baritono Ya venía el dorado crepúsculo sobre el país de rosas de Siria, y glorioso resplandecía el Sol sobre el sagrado Líbano. En la majestad invernal se elevaba su cabeza, de eternas nieves reluciente, mientras el verano dormía a sus pies, de flores circundado. Para quien desde lo alto contemplara abajo aquella mágica región, cuán bello parecería el mundo, la intensa vida. En torno resplandece la belleza de los jardines, el brillo de las olas, en las riveras dorados frutos, más hermosos a la luz del Sol, y luego el rumor de mil voces, la antigua flauta del pastor, el zumbido de las abejas en la Tierra Prometida, que forman enjambres sobre los floridos campos, y tú, Jordán, con tus felices orillas y tus bosques llenos de ruiseñores.
