Hinter jenen dichten Wäldern
Weilst du meine Süßgeliebte
Weit ach weit, weit ach weit!
Berstet ihr Felsen,
Ebnet euch Täler,
Daß ich ersehe,
Daß ich erspähe
Meine ferne, süße Maid!

Nostalgie
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Derrière ces forêts denses
Tu demeure, mon doux amour,
Loin, ah, loin ! Loin, ah, loin !
Éclatez, rochers,
Soulevez-vous, vallées,
Que je puisse voir,
Que je puisse apercevoir
Mon aimée lointaine et douce !
