Original text and translations

English translation We are an escape from the city’s hustle, How different is the daylight here! How does the lark song sound in our singing? The lark sings and the quail puffs here! As we wander we like to leave Herr Griesgram* at home; A fresh look comes from looking into the distance Now, always out and about! We walk until late evening melts away, We rest until the morning dawns again. We camp down in the shadowy place, Where only the merry deer has rested; From a hollow hand drinks a refreshing cool drink, The cool drink is ever so good. As we wander we like to leave Herr Griesgram* at home; A fresh look comes from looking into the distance Now, always out and about! We walk until late evening melts away, We rest until the morning dawns again.

• Herr Griesgram - a grouch, a grumpy person
