{{Vs|1}} Würziger Hauch durchweht die Blütenwipfel,
feierlich senkt zur Erde sich die Nacht;
still ist der See, der Alpen ferne Gipfel
strahlen verklärt in gold'ner Abendpracht.
''O teure Heimat, wonnigs Land!
''Innig bleibt immer mein Herz nur dir zugewandt.
 
{{Vs|2}} Lasst uns den Abend feiern hier im Freien.
Kommt, in dem Tal zu wandeln Hand in Hand!
Lasst dem Gesang die letzte Stunde weihen:
lieblich ertönt das Eche längs dem Strand.
''O teure Heimat, wonnigs Land!
''Innig bleibt immer mein Herz nur dir zugewandt.
 
{{Vs|3}} Hell ist der Mond am Himmel aufgestiegen,
sendet uns grüßend seine Strahlen zu.
Nieder vom Berg des Alphorns Klänge wiegen,
laden uns ein zur sanften Abendruh'.
''O teure Heimat, wonnigs Land!
''Innig bleibt immer mein Herz nur dir zugewandt.

English.png English text

1  Scent-laden breezes through the flowers are blowing;
Solemnly veiling earth descends the night;
Still is the lake, the distant Alpine summits
Shine, glory-clad, in golden evening light.
O land of beauty, home that I love,
Never from thee will my heart's devotion rove.
2  Come, let us forth, this evening-time to honour;
Come to the vale, and wander hand in hand.
Let us to song the parting hours be giving;
Sweetly will echo sound along the strand.
O land of beauty, home that I love,
Never from thee will my heart's devotion rove.
3  Clear is the moon, the steep of heaven upclimbing,
Shining to greet us ere she seeks the west;
Down from the height there floats the voice of Alphorns,
Which call us all to welcome evening rest.
O land of beauty, home that I love,
Never from thee will my heart's devotion rove.
 Translation by John Troutbeck
