|---|---|
| In einem dunklen Tal | In a dark valley |
| Lag jüngst ich träumend nieder | Recently I lay down dreaming |
| Da sah ich einen Strahl | Then I saw a ray |
| Von meiner Heimat wieder | From my homeland again |
| Auf morgenroter Au' | On a morning red meadow |
| War Vaters Haus gelegen | Was located at father's house |
| Wie war der Himmel blau | How blue was the sky |
| Die Flur wie reich an Segen! | The hallway how rich in blessings! |
| Wie war mein Heimatland | How was my home country |
| Voll Gold und Rosenhelle! | Full of gold and rose brightness! |
| Doch bald der Traum verschwandt | But soon the dream disappeared |
| Schmerz trat an seine stelle | Pain took its place |
| Da irrt' ich weit hinaus | I went far out there |
| Ins öde Land voll Sehnen | To the barren land full of longing |
| Noch irr’ich, such’das Haus | I'm still wrong, look for the house |
| Und find’es nicht vor Tränen | And don't find it for tears |
