Lieb' Liebchen, leg's Händchen aufs...

Lieb' Liebchen, leg's Händchen [aufs]1 Herze mein; -
Ach, hörst du, wie's [pochet]2 im Kämmerlein?
Da hauset ein Zimmermann schlimm und arg,
Der zimmert mir einen Totensarg.

[Es]3 hämmert und klopfet bei Tag und bei Nacht;
[Es]3 hat mich schon längst um den Schlaf gebracht.
Ach! sputet Euch, Meister Zimmermann,
Damit ich [balde]4 schlafen kann.

Amor meu, posa la mà damunt del meu cor;

Amor meu, posa la mà damunt del meu cor; --
ah, el sents com batega en la seva petita cambra?
Allà, un fuster dolent i maligne,
m’està fent un taüt.

Amartella i colpeja dia i nit;
ja fa molt de temps que m’ha tret el son.
Ai! afanyeu-vos, mestre fuster
perquè aviat pugui dormir.
