In purity, in the land of true mountain nature,
In the realm of green meadows,
From Tauern to the Nebelhorn,
The Nordalp casts its shadows
I hiked through the mountain air ,
I climbed up, climbed up,
Feel the force of nature,
Climbed up while hiking
On the sunny slope I raised the hammer
Which stood in the spring light ,
The Alpine roses glittered
Far up to the mountain ridge
High the hammer of nature,
That crushes the new world,
That awakens the memories,< br/>The old shines in eternal splendor.
The bed of the blue glacier world,
Like steel, dominates the expanse,
For a short time I closed my eyes,
/>And yet looked on all sides
I stood up and stared fixedly,
So the willows stretched out,
Like steps they led to the goal,
Up the mind drifted to the mountain frost
Arrived, with tired feet,
I lingered in that place
Once again I closed my eyes,
Time stopped, stopped forever.
I saw nothing, only saw Alpine land,
The true power, united in the light,
And wanted to stay resting forever,
The herd plague was out of sight.
