Translation:

 Oh, I wish I knew the way back,

The dear way to childhood's land!

Oh, why did I seek my happiness

And leave my mother's hand?

Oh, how I long to be at rest

Without awaking to strife,

The weary eyes to close

With love's gentle protection!

And nothing to search for, nothing to watch,

And only to dream, gently and sweetly,

The time passing unnoticed,

To once again be a child!

Oh show me again the way back,

The dear way to childhood's land!

In vain I seek again my happiness,

Around me is a desolate shore!
